Fox 40 Pearl Whistles, Blue

I really like the Fox 40 Pearl. I use it as a soccer referee. It has a very different tone than whistles most other fields will be using, so it's easy for (especially younger) kids to know when the whistle is for their game at the crowded tournament. Very easy to blow as a novice, so I recommend it for new teens. It isn't as loud as most whistles, so great for younger mod-field games (7v7 or 9v9), but it's plenty loud for even the noisy 11v11 games (had multiple mentors/assessors comment how they could hear this whistle anywhere around the field). Attach it to another whistle and it's easy to hold and now you have two tones to choose from for your game.Highly recommend for teen referees who may be new to blowing whistles, doing mod games, or for anyone looking for a different and unique tone to differentiate your field at a tournament.

AWESOME! great whistle. love using it on the go as a lifeguard

I don't think this model is as durable as the original really loud one. This is the second one that I've had. First one cracked and broke on mouthpiece (but this took about 3 years) this one is already showing a gap in the side where the side of the body meets the bottom curve of the whistle. It's only been a few months. This was the third one. The second to replace the broken one didn't produce the dual sound and was returned. My original black one thats been on the same lanyard as these broken ones has been fine for a good 10 years! It shows wear but the whistle is intact. I'm loyal to fox40 because of the information and demos on their products but might be looking for another pea-less whistle brand soon.

This whistle is loud and I already own Fox 40 whistles. The lower tone is distinctive and let's my players know when I'm blowing the whistle.I have to remember not to put so much air behind it because when I get carried away, it's so loud it sometimes hurts my ears. Karma at work, I guess.

While it was slightly more expensive than I would’ve liked, given that it is a single formed piece of plastic, ultimately I think this will be worth the cost. The whistle is definitely loud enough to be heard across a distance - so much so, in fact, that I have to plug my own ears when blowing it. Because it is entirely plastic it is easy to clean and sanitize, and I don’t think it will be easily broken. My previous whistle was colored metal and less expensive, but the color started flaking off, which was rather disturbing. I used the metal one for many years, and I think the new one will hold up over time as well. I would recommend this for a playground and coaching uses.

The whistle is great. The problem was it didn’t come with a lanyard as shown in the pictures. This is the only reason I only gave it a 4 star rating. Other than a little false advertisement the whistle is awesome.

I purchased this to use for coaching a swim team. Its loud and piercing enough to hear from the other side of the pool, even over the water and swim noise. Good quality!

There’s nothing negative I can say about this whistle. I used to use one when I was a lifeguard. I purchased this one to put in a survival kit. It’s a great signaling tool.
