Hurricane Whistle

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Incredibly loud and bright orange, this is a brilliant bit of emergency kit.

LifeSystems says: 

One of the loudest whistles available, the Hurricane performs in all weather conditions even when it gets extremely wet. When blown the chamber design ejects water and creates a unique tri-tone sound which can be heard in all directions and further away than other whistles.

Our Verdict

Even if it gets soaking wet this whistle still performs brilliantly. Perfect to stash in a side pocket, or as I do in a first aid kit.
