I am a physical education teacher so a whistle can be my best friend when the need arises. This whistle is not only loud but the sounds emitted from it are controllable. Since the whistle is high pitched, even a small bit of air pushed through the mouth piece can be enough to grab the attention of my students. On the other hand when emergency scenerios come up a full blow on this whistle will stop everyone in their tracks. I would definitely recommend this whistle. Although, I didn't like paying 7 dollars for the whistle, I followed the reviews on this page and bought it anyway. I still thought after buying it that I was foolish to have spent close to 10 bucks including shipping on a whistle, but I realized after I received it, my money was well spent, and I will never purchase any other whistle then this one in the future. It is worth the extra money!

I keep this little baby on my keychain wherever I go. It's a survival tool that packs a punch. It's waterproof, can be heard from like a mile away, and requires very little breath behind it. I first used one when I found one in my mother's glove compartment, next to things she was taking with to work. My mother is a high-ranking law enforcement officer who works within the California State correctional system. This is what they use against the inmates and this is also what helps save their lives when they are in distress situations. I read somewhere that wilderness survival expert Doug Ritter always carries one of these with him wherever he goes. For the price and compact size of this little baby, you'll definitely get more than what you pay for. I wish I had this back when I was in Boy Scouts.

I also have this on my keychain wherever I go (be sure to wash it regularly if you do this).

First time I blew it, I temporarily lost about half my hearing. So now I try to only use it in non-emergency situations when I have ear plugs or muffs on.

As a basketball official this is the recommended whistle. It's load and everyone knows when a foul or violation has occurred. The cushion is great when your working multiple games to relieve the pressure on your front teeth.

As a football referee, I needed a whistle that will cut through the loudest crowd noise. No other whistle does it quite like the Fox 40. It has a shrill, piercing sound at 115 decibels. The problem came with me chewing through my whistles. When Fox 40 came out with their CMG whistle this problem was corrected. This is the most comfortable whistle I've used. I wouldn't use anything else.

The product is great as well as the service. My shipment came very quickly and I was tremendously pleased all the way around

How many times have you crunched thru your whistle and played the game wondering if you swallowed the little pieces that broke off, let alone if you are going to chip a tooth... This is the most comfortable whistle going.

I coach middle school girls lacrosse and this whistle is great! It is so loud and gets the attention of my 40 girls in no time.

Perect whistle; durable, light weight, loud and pea less ..

I chose the version with the mouth grip and it is comfortable for long periods of time.

The Fox 40 classic has become the gold standard in referee whistles. This cushioned model is my favorite. You don't notice it until your calling 5, 6, 7, even eight games in a day. Just be sure to rinse it out and wash it Listerine to keep it clean.
