Armour Fox 40 2300002 Pearl Official Finger Grip Whistle (15A501)

Improy

Nice fox 4o

Good quality. Fitment to fingers needs to be better.

Product is not at all Fox40. Totally waste of money . As a Sports teacher I am aware of the sound of genuine fox40. I’m really disappointed with the product and feels like cheated. Please don’t Buy .

Good

Worst product

Liked the pattern only. Whistle working is not satisfactory

I ordered two whistles but one whistle doesn't sound louder

Awesome whistle, slightly lower register makes the sound more pleasing to me. I have found it is a bit harder to blow on it with a consistent force - as it is pea-less, it will never "clog" (not that that ever happened to me even in pouring rain, but nonetheless...) - if you blow on it softly, it really makes an underwhelming sound. For this whistle to work, you need to block the tip with your tongue as you build up pressure inside your mouth and then release the tongue rapidly which then blasts the sound (almost like spitting). Going full blast is simple, the trick is being able to blow at moderate levels. There are actually videos online that will teach you :) In terms of the finger grip, it is very nice and love not having a lanyard bothering me. At first it was slightly loose on my hand and I was afraid I might drop it, but it is actually a metallic clamp so if you apply a bit of force you can bend it inwards (or outwards) to adjust the grip force but sturdy enough that it won't bend out of shape by itself. It's really comfortable and with the rubber coating there's zero chance it will slide out. The only thing I would have preferred is the ability to separate the whistle from the grip - it is built in a way that I don't think you could do so without breaking the base. I'm now using this for futsal as well. Not as comfy in that environment because for futsal you have to switch hands permanently as you need to signal with either hand based on the direction of play, which reverses quickly and constantly. I basically just grab it in my hand which is what you do with a regular itty bitty whistle. This feels a bit awkward because of the clamp but it works just fine. In fact for some people it may be preferable as it adds a bit of heft. The only final thought is that for what it is, the price feels a bit salty - think about it: for the price of 2 whistles you can buy a mini drone nowadays! So, sure, a 50 cent whistle will do the trick for most non professional refs. But, this will increase your field presence a notch or two :)

O apito que eu quero é esse só com o nome pearl na frente,o que veio tá na frente Fox 40 pearl e o som é diferente

This is an awesome whistle. I referee an adult mens soccer league and they all hate me because of this whistle. Its got a perfect pitch but different from other whistles. Loud with not much effort needed. Fits pefectly in the hand, very light and comfortable. Truly works great and great price. I am buying a spare as back up and recommending to my other fellow referees.

Comprei pra dar de presente mas deu errado e fiquei com ele, amei, MT prático!

Fox 40's are still the gold standard for officials whistles. The pearls are of course quieter and a different pitch than the classics, but work well when you have to have two different games happening side by side and want to avoid mistakes on who's whistles are for which game.
