        Comments about REI Tri-Power Safety Whistle:

        This thing is AMAZING. It does it's job and it's a small price to pay for your safety.

        I do a lot of solo hikes and/or hikes in the backcountry. I purchased a few of these whistles and have them on every backpack of mine and keep one in my car. I don't feel as if I go as deep to need a personal GPS locator, but this is the next best thing.

        The gentleman at the REI store told me not to blow it around others. The first thing I did when I got at the car was try to get it as loud as can go, and both my sister and I still have permanent hearing damage. Listen to the man.

        I have never had to use this in an emergency situation, but I would trust it to work. I keep it attached to the chest strap of my Camelbak, and I do not go out of my way to treat my pack kindly. I have thrown this around quite a bit and it has yet to crack or break in a year.

        This is also an excellent tool to use to discourage wildlife approach. I have only used it on cows (they ran for the hills as fast as could be) and a deer, but if I encountered something like a cougar or bear, this would be sure to scare them or hurt their ears in some way.

        Safety is priceless.

        Comments about REI Tri-Power Safety Whistle:

        Extremely loud whistle that (despite being plastic) feels solidly built and reliable. I'm no whistle coinsurer, but these core features make it a great asset when hiking in the backcountry.

        It clips to a D-ring at the front of the backpack for quick access and it's bright color makes it easier to find (unless you're hiking Mars).

        Must have given the price and potential safety benefits.

            This is the last whistle you'll need to buy! Durable, hi-vis, and PAINFULLY LOUD.

            Originally bought this while working as a camp counselor, worked too well get the kids' attention during large events. Will continue using on extended backpacking trips.

                This as loud a whistle as I've ever heard. It is truly brutally loud. Construction is rugged, I can't imagine it breaking under normal use.

                  this is a great whistle, it will deafen your ears with sound. Just to save a little weight, I took the metal clip off and tied parachute cord on it.

                    Very loud whistle, so prepare to cover your ears when blowing into this. Nice bright orange for high visibility. Overall solid construction!

                    Good product once again.

                      Comments about REI Tri-Power Safety Whistle:

                      Two concerns for a survival whistle-- durability and volume. Passes both. Appears well-made (can't say all that much here), and this thing is the loudest whistle I have ever heard. With only a bit of effort you can produce ear-splitting whistles.

                      Bought it for doing bird surveys by foot in rugged terrain, and it adds a degree of comfort I didn't have before.
