Bestie Version 1 vs Version 2
Bestie Version 2 is the current generation of our three-in-one personal safety device. It features updated materials, packaging, canister selection and a louder personal alarm.
| Feature | Bestie Version 1 | Bestie Version 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Personal alarm | 105 dB | Upgraded to 120 dB |
| Canister | Arrived with the live formula already installed | Arrives unloaded; the canister of your choice is packaged separately beneath the Bestie device |
| Setup | No canister installation required before first use | The customer must install the selected canister before live use |
| Materials and construction | Made entirely in the USA from aluminum | Made with a lightweight combination of aluminum and zinc components |
| Packaging | Packaged inside a fully enclosed, solid box | Packaged inside a box with a window that displays the product |
Version 2 was designed to give customers greater control over their formula selection and training experience.
Because Version 2 arrives unloaded, you can first practice unlocking and activating the device without a canister installed. You may then practice with an inert Practice Canister before loading your selected live formula.
If you own Version 1, continue following the care and operating instructions provided with your original device. Do not assume that canisters, batteries, components or accessories are interchangeable between versions unless Bestie Defense® expressly confirms compatibility.
