Kakapo Whistle with Flip Grip & Lanyard

This whistle is loud and doesn’t take a ton of breath to get the desired effect. I am able to vary my whistle to fit the intensity of the situation. I highly recommend this whistle

Very effective when a foul occurs...loud and clear

Easy to blow and be loud, I can control with my breath. Getting used to the grip.

It has an EXCELLENT tone and presence on the field. It is also extremely loud which give the whistle fantastic performance when on the fields. Overall, Would buy this again over the Valkeen.

I've used an Acme Thunderer pea whistle in the past because I can vary tone. This whistle changed that for me. It can be really loud, but my favorite feature of the Kakapo is how I can really talk with it. Very sturdy, durable whistle that is worth the money.

This whistle is EXTREMELY loud!!!! This whistle should be used for outdoor games only. I’ve had numerous comments about the pitch of the whistle. Many player don’t like being near me wen I blow the whistle. Therefore the performance is amazing.
As far as comfort... the whistle is mischievous bigger than my isial FOX 40. It takes a few minutes to get used to. I never held my whistle with a rope lanyard. I would always use another whistle (two FOX 40s). However the lanyard (any one of the three) works great. I don’t use it as intended in between the fingers; just something to hold on. They are make of silicone so you don’t have to worry about if slipping out to much. Other than that, this is by far the best whistle I’ve used. I haven’t used the Valkeen. However I’ve used nearly all the Fox and Acme whistles, with still coming back to the FOX 40 prior to purchasing this one.

With other comparable whistles there are 3 sizes of grip. While I like this particular whistle better than the valkeen, the grip that comes with this is comparable to the small valkeen grip. With a bigger grip it would no doubt exceed the valkeen in every catagory.

The valkeen comes with three different sizes of flip grips. Myself being a 6’5” Referee finds the grip very small and hurts my fingers going on an all weekend tournament!

Overall the whistle is fantastic and extremely loud and attention grabbing. A very high pitch tone that carries very well! Gear product!

VERY sweet whistle. The three lanyards and three finger grips are over kill. Provide less of the grips and lanyards and drop the price.
Having a loud and different whistle is beneficial. Especially when dealing with adults or in a stadium environment.
I would have paid more if this was attached to a finger loop.
