A high-output signal that still works when wet
The STORM all-weather whistle uses a water-purging sound chamber so it can sound in rain and underwater. Its manufacturer publishes measured output of 118-120 decibels, giving sailors, paddlers, divers, and rescue crews a compact signal that carries farther than a voice.
Why keep it on the person
- Designed to work above and below the water.
- High-visibility orange body is easy to spot.
- Manufacturer testing rates the output at 118-120 decibels.
- Made in the United States.
Best placement
Attach the whistle where it can be reached with either hand while wearing your lifejacket or exposure gear. Inspect the body and attachment point regularly, and test it away from ears before a trip.
A whistle is one layer of a recovery plan. Pair it with appropriate flotation, deck lighting or personal lights, a way to remain attached, and equipment that helps the crew bring someone back aboard.
