Testimonials

U.S. Coast Guard

“As a boater with over 50 years of experience and holding a USCG Masters License, I’ve taught boating safety for state and national agencies as well as held my own hands-on seamanship classes. I came across your Whistles for Life product and can attest to the fact there is no finer product in its class, and none louder! I especially valued that it came with a clip easily attachable to life vests. I had received a supply of whistles that I handed out in class and encouraged everyone to attach one to each life vest. Almost everyone wanted four or more, but I had to limit to one per student and encouraged them to search for them in marine supply houses.

Now retired, I still volunteer with the Marine Unit of the local Sheriff’s Office, helping to educate boaters on safe and responsible boating.”

California Self-Defense Consultants

“As a former law enforcement officer and current safety trainer to corporate managers and executives, I am pleased to endorse the Whistles for Life whistle as a life-saving tool. To reward attendees who enroll in my seminars, I distribute the whistles at the beginning of the session. The hands-free mouthpiece and lightweight design are attractive features, and several have commented that the wide range of colors is a definite plus.

As a martial arts instructor, I offer seminars and workshops. During training, I discuss the physiological response that occurs during stress and fear, and how the laryngeal reflex will prevent someone from screaming but they can still blow a whistle if they have it available. The fight-or-flight reaction (and even a panic attack) affects each of us differently depending on the degree of stress and how we handle it, and blowing a whistle just might be enough to get out of a bad situation.

I encourage everyone to consider adding resources to their toolbox, whether that means self-defense objects, enrolling in self-defense classes, or practicing daily situational awareness. Whistles for Life’s safety whistle can offer peace of mind for those who want to improve their overall safety.”

Adolfson & Peterson Construction

“We used our branded Whistles For Life whistles to perform an emergency evacuation drill in our office for Safety Week 2018. Unlike air horns which can run out of air or freeze up, the whistles performed perfectly for the duration of use. We did not struggle to be heard! Afterwards, we also handed them out to our crews for Safety Week swag!”

Emergency Response International

“In areas near fast-moving streams, high windy ridges and other environments where background sounds may prove conflicting to search efforts, the whistle’s unique sound characteristics insure clear distinction of rescuer signals and no mistaken perception of natural sounds… We will only be offering equipment that we have tested and that we believe is superior in its performance. It is our recommendation that your Signal 1 – Tri Power Whistle be a “must carry item” in our list of essentials for the outdoors.”

– Robert C. “Skip” Stoffel – President

Western Washington University

“When conducting our research towards selecting a whistle that would best meet our needs, your product excelled in every respect. Not only are they designed for a readily distinctive and loud noise; they are manufactured for durability and consumer safety. The included multi-purpose fasteners and a distinctive school logo encourage our people to have them readily available. I want to commend you and your staff for a superior product that completely met the needs of our campus safety whistle program.”

Community Emergency Response Team

“We feel that the whistle provides an excellent signaling device for any scenario the CERT member might find themselves in. It also gives them a sense of security and safety. We find that this whistle’s construction is superior to most, and the split ring and hook allow it to easily be attached to bags, packs or clothing. The CERT logo really adds a sense of pride for the members and identifies them with a great program.”

– Bob Jacobson – CERT Coordinator, Whatcom County, WA

“In a “blind whistle test” 4 out of 5 instructors said they felt the Tri-Power whistle was louder and indicated a true feeling that there was an emergency which needed responding to. We also sent it our extended wilderness courses on the river, ocean, and mountain environments. Instructors specifically noted it was easier to hear as a whistle signal while descending rapids. As one of our safety protocols, students wear a whistle at all times during wilderness trips and I’m proud to say that this summer the Signal #1 Tri-Power whistle is our whistle of choice.”

– Michael Crowtz – Program & Technical Director

National Safe Boating Council

“The National Safe Boating Council would formally like to recognize Whistles for Life as the “Official Whistle of the National Safe Boating Council.” It is evident that you have out much time and effort to develop such a superior product and we’re happy to be associated with such an upscale company.”

– Virgil H. Chambers – Executive Director

Lifesaving Resources 2

“These whistles have been used under some very intense environments and venues, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools; lakes, rivers and streams; ocean environments; and in moving water conditions, and during all four seasons. Our instructors and faculty have used this whistle after being fully immersed and/or submerged and after a quick shake, the whistle operates the same as if it were dry. We are very pleased with the waterproof pea and the secondary chambers that create separate omnidirectional high-pitched sounds.”

– Gerald M Dworkin – Consultant, Aquatics Safety & Water Rescue
