Coghlan's Four Function Whistle

Not too bad of a small tool. I keep this lil deal clipped to a strap on my pack just for a quick glance to get my heading. I would never use it for my primary compass though. Most water floaters are not to be trusted. The temp gauge isn't too bad, as long as you don't keep it in your pocket. It comes with a fairly loud lil rape whistle, lucky I haven't had to use it yet. LOL. Full review

REI Tri-Power Safety Whistle

Very loud whistle. Great loud whistle. It is orange so you will never lose it. However it is big, that might be a downside for some. My wife hates this thing because I am always testing it! Full review

NRS Storm Whistle

Loud! Woah, if you are lost in the woods and need someone to hear you, well this is the small piece of plastic for you. I mean, yeesh, even at a minimum amount of air will this thing amplify! Your ears won't be happy, but you will get rescued (probably). Full review

Ozark Trail Silbato 4 in 1 Whistle

Harmony Fox 40 Whistle

I bought this whistle as plastic version and in black. It is quite light and the design is ingenious and good quality. It does work even when wet. I blew as loud as I could and it was very piercing to the ears. I was so impressed that I bought one for my daughter for security when she walks to school. It comes with a metal round key chain attachment and a round key chain. I bought a small bungy chord type rope and fixed the entire thing to the front of my backpack. Full review
