I be never had to use it, I got it for dogs. I was charged by one and was defenseless nothing happened thank goodness. I just feel better having something in addition to spray. My first one has been lost along with my running bag.
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.
I purchased two Go Guarded rings one for when I go running and one for my purse to have at all times. Unfortunately, as a woman you never know what can happen and I plan to get home after every run and any time I am out alone. Thank you Go Guarded for making me feel safer.
Love the product- easy the run with , light weight - great fit - there is a more comfort knowing I can defend myself easier/ faster than digging through my pocket.
I like this device, however it is too big for my hand and is too conspicuous. I really do not want to show everyone that I have one so that someone will want to confront me just to take it. I feel if it was a little smaller so most of the end is concealed with just the tip sticking out would be better.
Fits perfectly into my running routine and I now have greater peace of mind. Staying focused during a run often comes down to mindfulness—being present and aware. That is more assured with the comfort and ease of this hand-held gem. Thank you, Go Guarded!
I ordered the ring and the pepperspray with the knife thing... At first I thought that the ring was too big and that I had made a mistake because it didn't look adjustable. But then I found the rubber inserts and the ring fits perfectly. I also love the pepperspray hand elastic. I don't have to think about holding it every second, but it's there if I need it. I don't hate the black color, but it would be cool if they had other colors so its wasn't so obvious I'm holding a pepperspray but I still love it.
My wife is a marathon runner and she takes the product with her everywhere she goes. She never leaves home without it. She is excited that she can run her long runs by herself and with protection always. Thank you for this great product and Izzy also says "Thank you".
I've had a Go Guarded Ring for a number of years now. I wear it when I am out for a walk, getting gas or when I can't carry my firearm. I bought this ring for my sons girlfriend who just moved to Chicago with him.
My Go Gaurded ring gives me a new sense of security on my runs! Just knowing I can protect myself if needed lets me focus on relaxing and getting “settled” into my run. Customer service is great as well! P
If you’re wearing the ring and needing to use it - doing the punching motion wouldn’t use the blade at all. In order to use it, you would need to do an unnatural hand motion, which in a moment of panic I’m sure wouldn’t be easy to think of
Hi Erica- Thanks for your feedback. Please note, Go Guarded Ring is not designed to be used in a punching motion, but rather a swiping motion. You may consider the Go Guarded Hand-Held (either by its self or with pepper spray, alarm, or stunner) which can be used for hammer strikes, as that product might be a better fit for you. If you'd like to exchange your Ring, please just email Jodi@goguarded.com and we will get you squared away. Thanks
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 feel safe and comfortable going out for a run by myself. The shipping was fast
The ring I purchased was too big. Customer service was amazing and they helped get us the correct size. Now the ring fits perfectly! Would highly recommend.

Fits well, I was able to adjust the size easily, and I have more confidence knowing I can defend myself if I have to.
I bought the knife alone months ago and loved how easy it was to carry even with winter running gloves. Then saw the new taser knife combo and decided to upgrade. The combo definitely gives me more peace of mind on my runs and the sound of the taser alone will scare the sh** out of anyone. I now feel that I can control a situation to keep myself safe.
