A rare but important type of gear is the type you hope to never use. Safety whistles are one of them, yet they are often overlooked by people heading out into situations where getting lost or injured is possible. Whistles for Life is a safety whistle designed by search and rescue professionals that is good insurance to have in your pack in case of an emergency.
The Whistles for Life Tri-Power Safety Whistle is specially designed to deliver what is most important in allowing rescue crews to find you. Sound. The whistle is built with three chambers to deliver an ear-piercing, 120 decibel sound that can be heard over long distances and noisy wind.
The main chamber of the whistle has a waterproof pea inside for that classic, staccato sound. Two additional chambers create seperate, omnidirectional, high-pitched sounds for a total of 120 decibels. Other features include ABS plastic so the whistle won’t stick to your lips in cold weather, a hands-free mouth grip, universal sefety clip, and waffled texture for an easy grip, even while wearing gloves.
We first met the guys from Whistles for Life in Salt Lake City at the 2010 Outdoor Retailer Winter Market, where they gave us a few whistles to try. On our first excursion into the mountains, we tested them out and were very impressed as the whistle was so high pitched and loud, that it made people standing nearby cover their ears. The Tri-Power Rescue Whistle really is that loud and we now carry the whistle in our packs at all times, even though we hope to never have to blow into one again.
The folks at Whistles for Life are dedicated to saving lives by getting their whistles into the hands of everyone who ventures outdoors. Their clients include the US Army Corps of Engineers, US Forest Service and National Parks Service, US Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary, and Community Emergency Response Teams.
Thanks to Whistles for Life, we here at UtahOutside.com now have a bunch of custom Tri-Power Rescue Whistles featuring the Utah Outside logo.
Update: Whistles are all gone. Thanks to everyone who sent an email requesting a whistle. We hope you never have to use them.
