Classic CMG Official Finger Grip Whistle , Black

Loud, durable and effective

Love this whistle, and my teeth like it too.

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.

I bought this for traffic control at an international airport. Very effective... definitely gets drivers attention! The finger loop is adjustable for two finger use and works quite well for a good fit. It's a simple product, but definitely works well. The black color looks good. If I had anything negative to say, it would be that I wish the size was just a little smaller.

I am a soccer referee and have used this in a half dozen games so far. The finger grip is SO convenient. I should have bought this years ago. (With a lanyard sometimes you are in a hurry to blow the whistle but it might be turned around, not ready as quickly as you might want.) Note, you do need to have it go over two fingers. (I put it over my pointer finger and middle finger.) I do like the 'sound' of a more traditional whistle like an Acme Thunderer with the cork ball inside, however sometimes when blowing very hard that can get a little bit 'stuck.' (I was also a lifeguard for many years, so I've used many whistles and in many situations.) This Fox whistle has a very shrill sound, and it can be VERY loud when blowing comparatively hard; it actually has hurt my ears on a couple of occasions. For a very soft whistle volume, it does not work as well as an Acme Thunderer. I would certainly recommend this for refereeing. For 5 stars it would need to be practically perfect. But, at 4 stars, it is still a very good whistle and far better than using a whistle on a lanyard.

Five stars because it does exactly what I need it to do. I am a USA Hockey ref and I officiate 2-3 times per weeks. Our rink is outdoors and this whistle is plenty loud enough to carry. The finger wrap around is a must and is comfortable and the soft grippy thing on the lip of the whistle is nice on your teeth. The price is good too. Be aware, the sound is a bit more shrill than other whistles, but it's fine when you get accustomed to it. It is pealess meaning there's not a little ball inside (meaning less moving parts to break?) It's perfect for what I need it for, and for any other referee or official. Five stars, would buy again.

Nothing beats a Fox40

The whistles with the pea in them are ok because they're economical but the Fox 40 Classic Officials Finger Grip Whistle is REALLY LOUD !! without even much effort. A little pricey (for a whistle) which is why I waited but I wish that I hadn't waited so long because you really need that LOUD !! during a game so that EVERYONE can hear the whistle ! and the rubber cushion finger grip is great for me as a soccer ref. and it's a really solid grip attachment, not cheap like some others I've seen and used. Now I wouldn't use or recommend anything else. crjp64

Came fast. Though not the most heavily protected and shipping. These are Fox 40 referee whistles. I use them particularly for Airsoft. Because of their sharp pitch I am heard across the combat zone in our smaller Fields quite easily. And it is great. So much better than shouting across the field and putting yourself into a lost voice situation. Only had two slightly stretch the brass finger positions to be able to wear it while still in my combat gloves. The main body is plastic so keep that in mind that it won't exactly take a lot of punishment. And the rubber bite is not meant for extreme amounts of pressure either. But I have accidentally lost one for several weeks. We found it cleaned it up and it works like brand new. Only a little bit of dirt got into it and it acted like it didn't really notice it
