Maybe Adirondack bears are smater than those in the Cascades & Sierra Nevada Mtns (I doubt it) but this product has been tested and both black bear certified (by the Sierra Interagency Black Bear Group) & and grizzley bear certified by the IGBC, & is approved for use in Yosemite, Sequoia & Kings Canyon Nat'l Parks, for the John Muir and Ansel Adams Wilderness Areas and the Inyo National Forest, and, I believe in Olympic Nat'l Park in WA State.

I worked for a outdoor shop just outside the Adirondack park. Dozens of these things came back after bears got into them. So go ahead and doubt that Adirondack bears are "smarter", I've seen the proof.

It is certified, but from my trip to the sierras last month, they'd rather have you carry a more solid canister.
