Your first and best defence against a bear attack is always prevention: use good food hygiene in camp, be aware of where you're walking, and make noise while underway to give bears a chance to steer clear of you. But close encounters may occur despite all your precautions. At such times, you'll appreciate having an active, non-lethal deterrent.
