3 Perry Whistle Review

Reviewer: Jonathan A, Winchester   (3-5-2012)

Bit difficult to write a review about these, but they are of a reasonable quality and are functional. The lack of a pea is useful in wet conditions! The bright orange colour makes it easy to find and you could attach a lanyard if you want. Ultimately, a whistle is an essential bit of kit for backcountry safety and why wouldn't you carry one??

It's light although if whistle weight is a concern then go without one. It's bright so you don't lose it. You can attach it to your kit (this whistle is often found on life jackets/buoyancy aids) with a lanyard if you want and it floats which is pretty handy if you're doing doing water activities. So are there any downsides? You can get louder whistles - expensive in outdoor shops, cheaper in sports shops. I suppose metal whistles are less likely to break but how often do you manage to break a whistle? And it's only £1 so you're not going to get cheaper.

Cheap life saver!

Carry mine in my "bug out kit". Lanyard loop to secure with para cord or karabiner, brightly coloured so easy to locate. Most important for a whistle a piercing tone that carries over distance.

Plastic too, so no risk of freeze injury to lips in sub-zero temperatures.
