4.0 out of 5 stars Clarity and loud, February 18, 2009

I have used the Fox 40 whistle for the last three years upon a recommendation from a friend. I have been very satisfied with the clarity and pitch this whistle provides. You have to blow a bit harder than a pea style whistle, however once you get used to the difference it works excellent. It will not freeze up on you in an ice arena as have some types of pea whistles. Overall I would use the Fox 40 for just about every situation.

This whistle was recommended to me by a friend. She loved it and uses it when she refs. I use it in the gym as a physical education teacher.

This review is from: Fox 40 Classic CMG Official Finger Grip Whistle (Sports)

I can't say enough good things about this piece of fine Canadian engineering! Pealess whistles never jam or fail to shrill because there are no moving parts. The finger grip fits my hand very well, except when I wear gloves (which, fortunately, I rarely do), and doesn't accidentally shift or move. This means that my whistle is always right where I expect it to be, even when running. The documentation says that the finger grip is adjustable, but I have not managed to solve this riddle. The CMG (cushioned mouth grip) is intended to help referees who hold the whistle in their lips or teeth, which I do not, but it does allow my lips to make a tighter seal, so more of my force of air is pushed through the whistle. The lack of a reservoir (like pea-style whistles have) means that water and dirt are less likely to accumulate and interfere with proper operation. This whistle is capable of a 115 dB shrill, and the best part is that somehow it doesn't hurt the ears of the user. This whistle cannot be overblown (pea-style whistles tend to mess up when blown too hard or soft), though it quickly loses its effectiveness if underblown. I believe that this whistle (or another from Fox 40 if you prefer lanyards) is a must-have for any sports official.
