        Comments about Coghlan's Six-Function Whistle:

        Makes an excellent stocking stuffer for those friends and relatives that you care about. About a month ago I gave one to my sister and she told me the compass has already saved her from being totally lost on two seperate occasions. She also credits the loud whistle and quick thinking for saving her life. As far as I am concerned, it's worth its weight in gold!

        This product is absolutely adorable. It's very small, and everything works! The whistle is SO loud, the compass is great . . . you have to get this. For [$] A total bargain. Now I know what I'm getting my traveling friends for Christmas! (Along with a MOON guidebook)

            Comments about Coghlan's Six-Function Whistle:

            Sure, it's fun to think that so many useful tools can be packed into one small unit... but this thing is just a chintzy toy for junior's backyard adventures. The light got snagged on my pack and broke almost immediately, and the thermometer didn't seem to be very accurate. The magnifying glass and mirror appear to be of questionable utility. So, you're left with a serviceable emergency compass and whistle.

            Comments about Coghlan's Six-Function Whistle:

            While the unit has lots of features, the button for the light falls off easily. Since it was one of the reasons to buy it, would make me NOT recommend it again. The whistle is loud and the other aspects work fine.
            The three batteries, may not be cost prohibitive to replace. I'll look into that at batteries.com.

              Good concept, however the battery cover falls off easily. First trip out and my cover was lost along with the batteries. Better off getting the similar model without the light and save yourself some money.

                  We recently used this after taking a wrong turn in Madrid. It was evening, the map was hard to read and we were disoriented. The compass helped orient the map correctly, the light and the magnifying glass both helped us read the map. Saved us a long walk in the wrong direction! Good for urban traveler.

                    I wanted a whistle I could use hiking to get my dog to come back when he takes off, this whistle is the best. Not only does it have the sound he will listen to but it has all the other features I love too, compass, light, temperature, only one problem I keep loosing them so this is my second order and I am ordering 4 of them.
