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.

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