AIIRO™ has been in development for nearly three years, building and improving upon the foundation of HERO® 2020. It’s smaller size and lower price point offer a lifestyle driven defense product that anyone can use and conceal. AIIRO™ uses nitrogen power to launch its highly anticipated gel based irritant which sticks to the target. Effects are immediate and include painful burning sensations on the skin (as if exposed to scalding heat), difficulty seeing, intense coughing, and discomfort for up to an hour. AIIRO™ also comes with a button activated 120dB alarm, audible from 750 feet (230m) away.

At a suggested retail price of $179.00, kits will include the AIIRO™, one training cartridge, one live cartridge, and carrying/storage case. Though no official date has been announced, AIIRO™ is anticipated to be available for pre-order in February.
