Learn how to carry and use the POM Runner Pepper Spray with its stretch-fit glove. Includes step-by-step instructions for secure pocket carry, drawing practice, and emergency deployment.
Quick answer
Carry the POM Runner Pepper Spray securely in your palm using the stretch-fit glove. Practice drawing and flipping the safety cap so you can deploy it quickly in an emergency.
Why the stretch-fit glove matters for runners
The POM Runner Pepper Spray comes with an ambidextrous glove that holds the spray unit in your palm. This design keeps your hands free while ensuring the spray is instantly accessible. The flip-top safety prevents accidental discharge, so you can focus on your run.
Trade-off: Glove vs. pocket carry
While the glove is ideal for running, you might prefer pocket carry during a walk or gym session. The POM Runner unit fits in a pocket or waistband pouch, but you lose the hands-free advantage. Choose the method that matches your activity.
How to carry and use the POM Runner Pepper Spray
- 1. Insert the spray unit into the glove: Slide the POM Runner pepper spray unit into the stretch-fit glove until it sits snugly in the palm area. The flip-top should face upward for easy access. Check that the unit doesn't shift when you move your hand.
- 2. Choose your carry method: Wear the glove during a run, or remove the unit and carry it in a pocket or waistband. The unit is compact enough for either method. If using pocket carry, ensure the flip-top is oriented so you can open it with your thumb.
- 3. Practice drawing and flipping the safety cap: With the unit in your hand, practice flipping the top open with your thumb. Do this repeatedly until the motion feels natural. Always point the nozzle away from your face. Do not practice with the safety off or while the unit is loaded—use a training dummy or dry-fire practice.
- 4. Deploy in an emergency: Flip the top open, aim the nozzle at the attacker's face, and press the actuator firmly. Spray in short bursts, then move away to safety. After deployment, call for help and report the incident to local authorities.
