GO GUARDED HAND-HELD WITH PEPPER SPRAY
Go Guarded takes self-defense for women very seriously and knows that attacks can happen in a variety of ways. The Go Guarded hand-held, the best self-defense knife for a woman, was developed to provide women with two options to defend themselves. If a potential attacker can be warned off and deterred with pepper spray, fantastic, but if not and the situation turns into a hands-on attack, that’s where the self-defense knife comes into play and you can take advantage of the sharp blade. Unlike other self-defense products, the Go Guarded Hand-Held is attached to your hand and will not easily be taken and used against you. This allows you to have full control over your self-defense weapon and makes it ideal for the best option of knives for runners.
Self Defense Knife
The Go Guarded blade is made from heavy-duty glass-reinforced nylon which makes it nice and lightweight. The self-defense knife is convenient, comfortable, and effective. One of the best-rated knives for runners and active individuals.
Defense Pepper Spray
1/2 oz. Streetwise 18 Pepper Spray Canister. Made in the USA.
Streetwise 18 Pepper Spray has a CHR of over 180,000 SHU (1.19 Total Capsaicinoids) making it one of the hottest, most effective self-defense sprays on the market.
The safe and easy locking mechanism ensures that the unit won’t accidentally spray when not in use. To operate, simply twist the top to unlock and press down to spray.
Go Guarded Hand-Held with Pepper Spray is available with a blue, red, or magenta blade cover.
How to use: Adjust the strap to comfortably fit your hand. Make sure the pepper spray spout is facing outward, and adjust the tab to the desired open or closed position. Regarding the blade, the material covering the blade will automatically flex out of the way when the blade is engaged. Read our blog for more self-defense tips.

So far so good, feels good to carry. Would love a large size spray! Great price too!
Jessica Harris (verified owner) –
So easy to carry; you almost forget it’s there. The pepper spray is positioned perfectly in your hand-would be very easy to move the safety and use if necessary.

I hope I never have to use it, but I’m glad I have it. It fits perfectly in my hand and gives me peace of mind when I’m out on the trails.
Tina Canova (verified owner) –
I bought 4 I have 3 girls and they all run or walk at different times of the day either with their children or alone and most times I walk alone….The girls say they feel much more safer.
Shelby Jones (verified owner) –
I hope I never have to use it but am very thankful I discovered it. It is very comfortable to run with and I forget that it is there. I feel much safer when I have it!
Julisa Sanchez (verified owner) –
I hate running with extra items but know that as a female who runs alone, that’s not possible. I’ve used all types of belts/arm storage items for safety, but have always asked myself if someone were to attack me, would I realistically be prepared. This hand held with pepper spray was comfortable, practical and I’ve never felt this safe running.
AMY SMITH (verified owner) –
I love my new go guarded knife and pepper spray! I feel more secure running alone now.
Isela Hernandez (verified owner) –
While I was running, 2 men moved out off the way when I waved at them coming at me on the same sidewalk. Then I noticed I waved with my go guarded on my hand. They must’ve seen it so at that moment I had peace of mind.
Lori Leatherbee (verified owner) –
Couldn’t wait to get it after they had been OOS for several weeks! Worth the wait…I didn’t realize how vulnerable I felt until I had this safety device at my fingertips! I’m very pleased and know it will be with me every run! You also need to beware of any 4 legged possible surprises to protect yourself! Don’t over think it…yes you need it too! Small price to pay to safe guard your life! You can hardly see it in my hand referring to the photo! Very lightweight can be used over winter gloves too!
Amber Garner (verified owner) –
The blade is too exposed and the risk too high for accidently self infliction while running.
Lauren Simmons (verified owner) –
I feel safe having this when I run. It’s really easy to carry.

Came quickly. Good quality
Chelsee Cravalho (verified owner) –
I’ve bought 5 of these for myself and friends and provides peace of mind when I run alone. Great product!
Braden Wicks (verified owner) –
Love this light weight hand held protection. Love that it has a velcro strap you can adjust to your hand. You don’t have to actually hold it or carry it while you run because it’s strapped to your hand. Everyone needs this!
Meghan Bufton (verified owner) –
My new hand held go guarded is phenomenal! I feel safer in the mornings thanks to go garded
Colleen Meils (verified owner) –

Cabrolina (verified owner) –
Tested this for a couple of days now. The pepper Spray fell out of the elastic a couple of times while I was running. maybe it needs to be secure a little more. But I do absolutely love it.
Lauren Parnes (verified owner) –
I love that I can take it on my walks and feel stronger and safer in the neighborhood.
Emily Gray (verified owner) –
I always carry pepper spray while running but this is definitely an upgrade. Love when people throw a wave and I wave back and they NOTICE it. I want people (creepy men) to see it and know I’m not messing around. Great buy!

I gave this as a gift and the recipient was very thankful but hoped she’d never need to use it. It is comforting to know she has this handy:-)
Gabriela Cordero (verified owner) –
Very comfortable to wear during my Runs!! Highly recommend!
Carlett Laing (verified owner) –
I’m a runner and with the latest incident I need some protection. It fits nicely in the pocket of my leggings or on my hand. Gave me back some confidence to run early morning
Melissa Gomez (verified owner) –
Love it!! I run a lot outside and alone this is giving me peace of mind, especially with the recent incident. We shouldn’t have to be always looking over our shoulder when a car or someone goes past us on the road or trail worrying if they are going to turn around or be waiting for us. I’ve always had friends ask me when I run on trail if I’m afraid of an animal attacking me? And I tell them NO I’m more afraid of human attacking me! So, Thank you Go Guard for giving me back my confidence of running outside again!
Christina Adkins (verified owner) –
Light weight, safety clasp on pepper spray, rubber sides on knife to avoid self-injury. Great price too!
Michele (verified owner) –
I bought this item as a birthday gift for a female friend that walks a night. While the package made it to my house in time, the contents were missing. I emailed Go Guarded and they were prompt in shipping out my replacement which still made it in time for her birthday! There was a little something extra in the package… a sticker that read “Didn’t stab anyone today” which made me chuckle and I promptly kept for myself.
Meghan weiler (verified owner) –
The handheld is good however my hand starts feeling stiff during long runs. So I’ve changed to wearing it on my wrist.
Andrea Roche (verified owner) –
I walk in a rural area every morning. I was looking for something for protection from both bad guys and animals. This fits in my hand perfectly and makes me feel much safer!

Pamela Sommers (verified owner) –
Bought one for myself, my sister in law, and 2 of my friends. We all love them, definitely feel safer on our hikes and other trips. I highly recommend these!
Pamela Sommers (verified owner) –
I wanted to love this, I even gave it 5 stats on my last review, but I can’t edit it. I wore mine on an easy 1 hour hike and the pepper spray fell out somewhere along the way. My sister in law wore hers on just a walk around her neighborhood and her pepper spray fell out as well, and rolled into the drainage ditch. So now both of us are missing the pepper spray part, which was a big reason why I bought them. I don’t see an option on here to just buy replacement pepper spray, so I have to buy all new ones, which is pretty disappointing.
Claudia Gonzalez (verified owner) –
Product is sturdy and well crafted. Very light and does not get in the way of working out.
Jaynie Belic (verified owner) –
I ordered this because I loved the concept, however, being a device marketed towards women I find the hand strap to not be accommodating enough for my small hands. Only about half to a quarter of the Velcro attaches when wrapped around my hand and I don’t feel that secure running with it. 🙁 I feel like I need to add additional Velcro in order for the strap to be snug enough to be secure.
Elisa Estrella-Hahn (verified owner) –
I bought this product for protection. It’s not awkward to have in my possession. It’s very natural to keep in my hand. I feel better knowing I have something to help protect myself with.
Joyce Roman (verified owner) –
I’m an early morning runner and I always carry my GoGuarded device. Having it visibly in my hand is a good deterrent. I recommend your products to everyone who wants to be able to protect themselves without risking self injury.
Eduardo Perez (verified owner) –
I love the product I bought it for my gf to go on walks to make myself feel more comfortable 😅 I just wish there was a cap to blade because carrying it anywhere else other than your hand would poke at you or something you own like I can’t really safely put an open blade in my pocket other than that thank you I’m glad you made this exist it’s just a cap would be nice 👍
Liana Nguyen (verified owner) –
I love my pepper spray/knife. I bring it on my runs and it makes me feel so much safer. I just bought one for my sister in law too because I love it so much! Very convenient and provides so much security
Jessica Stevens (verified owner) –
Perfect size for my hand so easy to carry on my runs, the strap makes stay in place so I don’t actually have to grip it, until I see a creep coming my way. Thankful for the peace of mind this has brought me on my runs. Chose the one with the pepper spray because of the coyotes my dog and I cross paths with.
Colton Pettijohn (verified owner) –
This product is a great comfort to have when running by myself.
Kera Sutherland (verified owner) –
I feel so much safer during my early morning runs in the dark! It is easy to carry and switch between hands. The adjustable strap helps keep it comfortable. It even fits in the side pocket of my running shorts for when I do not need to carry it.
Brent Harrell (verified owner) –
My wife was very happy I bought the Go Guarded with pepper spray and promptly used it the next morning on her jog. She feels safer and more confident that she has more options available now should an incident occur.

I wanted this because I thought have 2 lines of defense would be perfect: the spray to keep an attacker from ever getting close, and the blade just in case they did. I don’t believe this will accomplish either. The handstrap is so flimsy and loose that the tiny little spray bottle never stays in one plays. It’s constantly twisting and turning and popping out of its shallow little sleeve. It’s fallen on the ground several times while simply carrying it around. The spray itself is TINY. I doubt I’ll get more than 3-5 blasts out of it, and the stream doesn’t go more than 5-6 feet. The blade is the worst parr: it’s PLASTIC! WTF? It’s literally a dull, 1 inch long plastic toy blade. Yes, it’s pointy enough to hurt someone if you poke them with it but you’re more likely to just puss them off than anything else. Will not buy again, nor recommend to anyone.

I got this for my daughter to carry when she runs the bike path near our house. I used it first to make sure she wouldn’t hurt herself, and it’s very safe. I feel much better knowing she has this on her while running in case of bad guys or animals, she’s got some protection now!
Zach LaCasse (verified owner) –
Very safe with peace of mind while running!
Candace Gale (verified owner) –
I love this handheld and I feel more comfortable using it but I do worried about the pepper spray falling out when I run. That how I lost the last one with a handheld but it was not this product.
Rachel Macagni (verified owner) –
Very easy to carry when I run!
Lisa Jackson (verified owner) –
The velcro on the Go Guarded is not very secure and allows for too much movement on the hand. Velcro like that found on the Sabre handheld pepper spray would be much better on this.
ANTONIO FLORES (verified owner) –
Best points – immediately available (no hassle to deploy) and simple to use effectively, as any hammer fist or hammer thrust provide effective deterrence. Gifted one to a petite woman of 75 who is still active. She loved it.
Angela Mitchell (verified owner) –
Super lightweight! Barely even feel it but feel much safer with it!
Mary Omel (verified owner) –
I usually run in very public areas so I don’t have to worry too much but having the go guarded pepper spray and knife allows me to not worry AT ALL. I feel safe. I feel powerful. I pray I never have to use it but the ease I feel while wearing it helps my runs go so much smoother. I get to have fun while running!! It’s the best feeling!
Shelby Cage (verified owner) –
I love this for running and for day to day use. I feel very safe with it and I like that it attaches to my hand and can’t be easily dropped or taken. Luckily I haven’t had to use it but the security is worth the purchase.
Emilie Wohlscheid (verified owner) –
I run alone or pushing a stroller most days. While my surroundings are nature filled, getting help or visibility isn’t easily done. Carrying my Go Guarded Handheld with Pepperspray gives me the defense needed if I should ever encounter a predator. I also have the ring for traveling and love that too! Keep up the great work helping us feel empowered!
Mariana Guevara Cristo (verified owner) –
Love it

Kelly Luckstead (verified owner) –
So I bought this from seeing an influencer run with it and also she had an experience where it was good to have it. I absolutely love it and it is way more comfortable than I thought it was going to be. So if you are on the fence, I do highly recommend and will say you won’t regret it!
Rosa Mendoza (verified owner) –
It’s super comfortable and easy to hold. I’ve been doing workouts and long runs while using it. At first I was bit worried I would hurt myself when running faster but it angles out perfectly. I run as early as 4:30 am and feel so much safer knowing I have something to defend myself with if necessary.
Denise Aucoin (verified owner) –
It really just makes me feel safe while running. Gives me the power to know I am not going down without a fight. I live in an area growing that has constant construction and tons of people coming and going into our neighborhood. I had a white truck follow me and then I knew I needed to protect myself.
Rachel Rivera (verified owner) –
I have been looking for something that fits my hand comfortably and this product is just right! I run alone and need something that gives me confidence that I can protect myself if needed. This device is just what I’ve been looking for, I hope I never have to use it but if I do, I’ll be ready!

I recently purchased another hand-held mace but decided to also order the Go Guarded because I wanted the knife feature handheld as well. The other brand of mace is easier to turn and the canister stays in one place in the hand-held. The Go-guarded seems to get a little stuck (the turning mechanism) and the canister seems to spin and kind of slip down in the holder. I “practice’ from time to time quickly turning the mace open to spray because – let’s face it – in the unlikely event of needing this, under pressure; there won’t be time to make sure the mace is positioned correctly. Other than that; it’s comfortable to hold and I appreciate the handheld knife option.
Luciana Coleta (verified owner) –
Great. Love it their products.
Sarah (verified owner) –
I was running with just pepper spray, but always worried what I would do if someone attacked me from behind and I couldn’t properly use the pepper spray. Having the go guarded handheld and pepper spray combo gives me options to defend myself in different situations. It makes me worry less when I run early in the morning before the suns out. I like that it’s also visible in my hand, hopefully making any attacker think twice about attacking me.
Tiffany Battle (verified owner) –
It fits perfectly on my hand and brings me a new sense of comfort while running. I now have something quick and easily accessible to protect myself if needed!

I am so glad I purchased this for myself and One for my daughter. It is so light weight and easy to carry. It makes walking my dog at night feel much safer. I’ve recommended this to so many of my friends.

Love that it fits in my palm well. Great design to be able to use quickly if needed. I like having the spray and go guarded together as one hand held.
Scarlett C. –
It is so easy to use and so effective! The very first time I wore it, I passed a large man while alone on a hiking trail. He looked a little too elated to see me— that is, until he saw what was on my hand— then his face went white and he couldn’t pass me fast enough. I don’t think anyone with good intentions would ever respond that way, since no one else I passed who saw it batted an eye. It gives me a sense of safety and security that is priceless. The sound the stunner makes is LOUD, very deterring. Cannot recommend enough!
