Aluminum survival whistle
Ships in 3 to 5 business days.
Same principle as the orange distress whistle, in a 10-gram black aluminum body. The metal will not split if crushed in a pocket or bitten by the cold, where a plastic body might break. The internal geometry is designed so that a light breath already produces a powerful sound, which is exactly what is required of an emergency whistle: to function when one no longer has the strength to shout. Black is a choice for discretion, unlike orange: it is justified for equipment where one does not want a bright color, provided one accepts that it is less easily found once dropped on the ground.
Key features
- Aluminum body: will not split under pressure or in the cold, unlike a plastic body
- 10 grams: the lighter of the two whistles in the range
- Light breath sufficient: a loud sound without effort, the quality that matters when exhausted
