Compact super bright flashlight at nighttime to buy a few seconds head start. Maglite flashlight if you want a makeshift baton

Best defense will always be having a friend with you, so maximize socialization.

    I have a small 4000 lumen flashlight that will blind my attacker if they look at it for too long. Bonus feature, the flashlight will lock itself if the wrong button combo is used.

    I disagree with your second comment; I think a slower, easier target would be a better companion in these situations. Preferably someone you don't mind losing.
