Quality whistles, loud enough to be heard in large crowds. The cushion mouth makes it more comfortable to wear for longer times.

Fan of Fox 40. It has great sound and a comfortable grip on the teeth. Top-of-the-line whistle.

Simply put the best whistle out there - I use it for basketball and volleyball.

The mouth guard makes this whistle very comfortable. Fox 40s are built like mini-tanks, and I have been using them for years to clear the halls at schools.

Solid whistle. The rubber grip stops the whistle from shooting out my mouth.

When Fox 40 came out with the CMG, there has been no turning back. Some camps will give you a whistle and if it does not have the CMG, I give it away! Only whistle I use!

Quite simply the best whistle you can buy. Looks better with the black tooth protector. Can't get any better!

Simply the best, and looks better with the black mouth guard.

Everyone above is correct. It’s a Fox 40 so...it’s a top shelf whistle but, the black on black is really nice. Often the white mouth guard gets a used and shabby look. The cushioned mouth guard is a must for those of us who bite down hard.

Always first-class products from Ron Foxcroft and the team at Fox 40. The CMG is a must have! A whistle like no other.

What can you say, it's a Fox 40. The best.

The black on black makes the whistle look better.

This is a must-have whistle. It sounds great and it's very light. I love the rubber protection for your teeth. A+++++.

The black CMG sets this apart!! I could only find ones with the clear/white cushioned part of the whistle. Just never looked right, UNTIL I found this Fox 40 all black!! Nice touch and looks official.

A Fox 40 Classic Referee Whistle is a classic. Not much else you can say as the standard of quality is high and does what a whistle does. The mouth guard is a personal choice and after biting through a few whistles, the guard works well.

The classic cushioned Fox 40 has always been a good whistle but I purchased this one for the new whistle holder for COVID and it fits perfectly.

Best referee whistle ever made. Love it.

I love the Fox 40 whistle. The plastic cushion is very comfortable.
September 19, 2019 Verified Purchase
Absolutely love the Fox 40! Personally, I cannot have a whistle without the grip as it eases the tension on my jaw during long tournaments.

The rubber on the mouthpiece wears too easily.

Can never go wrong with a Fox 40. I still have my first one from 1996. If you don't get the cushion, you're obviously doing it wrong.
February 1, 2019 Verified Purchase
Great product!
January 8, 2019 Verified Purchase
Good price. Felt very comfortable. Doesn't pop out of mouth.
October 2, 2018 Verified Purchase
Took a game or 2 to get comfortable with it, but I like the added cushion to hold it in my teeth pre-snap.
September 25, 2018 Verified Purchase
Just what I was needing and expecting! Works well!
March 1, 2018 Verified Purchase
As a new official it did exactly what I needed. Maybe slightly bigger for my mouth than desired but not to the point that it's an issue. Nice whistle.
February 27, 2018 Verified Purchase
Same sound as the classic Fox 40. The rubber protector potentially makes if more comfortable and gives more gripping power. However, it makes it bigger also. It's a matter of trade offs. I would stick with the regular model.

Great product!

There's no question when you blow this little baby - it provides plenty of sound.
November 28, 2016 Verified Purchase
The Fox 40 CMG is by far my favorite referee whistle - with a clean crisp sound.
June 18, 2014
Have used for several years. Love the comfort with the silicone bite tab. Keeps me from chomping down and it will last several seasons!!
June 17, 2014
I'm really pleased with this item! I've always used a plain whistle and when I saw this I thought to give it a try. It's a great price and I won't go back to a regular whistle now! Really like the padded mouth area on it. Only got it a couple weeks ago but I haven't had any problems with it and recommend others to try it!
