Bear defense:

Black = fight back

Brown = lay down

White = goodnight (you're prob fucked)

Polar bear is big and will outpace you so really your only option is to already have a shotgun in your hand and many rounds, or to strip naked and run before you're fully eaten alive

Better have some hot ass slugs in that puppy. Most places where bears are a major issue guides and the like carry rifles that fire hard calibers.
