ACME Whistles: The perfect outdoor companion
- March 09, 2023
There is nothing like heading outdoors to enjoy some of your favourite pastimes and pursuits, and for every activity there is an ACME whistle that will match your pace. Tough and built to last, every whistle we make is designed for superior performance in the most challenging of conditions. Whether you are an avid hiker, hunter or boater, make sure to pack an ACME for your next adventure.
The diverse range of whistles produced by ACME Whistles covers all the bases for all manner of outdoor hobbies, professions and pursuits in a compact and highly portable format. Our customers demand the absolute highest standards in terms of build quality and reliability which is why our whistles are made using traditional techniques in our Birmingham factory, and each is tested before leaving the workshop.
Safety and survival
Hikers and camping enthusiasts will appreciate the extra security that a high quality safety and survival whistle can provide. The ACME Survival Whistle 649 is a true favourite among people who spend time in the woodlands, fells and heaths of the UK, as well as those who need a reliable, attention-grabbing whistle to use on the water.
Its lightweight yet robust, shatterproof plastic construction makes it the perfect choice for challenging conditions and it is compact enough to keep in a pocket or on a lanyard for easy access. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to produce a strong, discordant sound with the 649 which can make a world of difference in emergency situations.
Hunting
Whatever your quarry, the art of hunting is one that is associated with plenty of traditional and practical equipment such as the harking horn. Hunters of all kinds will find everything they need to indulge in their hobby from harking horns to bird call whistles. Realistic bird call whistles such as the duck call and warbler are also a great piece of kit for bird watchers.
Dog trials and training
Some of our best loved whistles come from our range of superbly engineered whistles for dogs. These whistles are designed to make it much easier to communicate with your canine and facilitate training and trials, especially in challenging environments. Whether your dog is taking part in herding competitions, scentwork, agility, or is accompanying you on a hunt you will need a clear means of communication.
The ACME Pro Trialler 212 is an excellent all-rounder that your dog will quickly recognise as their whistle, but for those who need a more versatile whistle you can’t beat the stunning Shepherds Lip Whistle 575 in metal, or 576 in shatterproof plastic. A complete range of dog whistles means that every dog owner can find the perfect whistle for themselves and their dog.
A true ACME original, the Silent Dog Whistle 535 is a favourite among dog owners in more built up areas. While it is not truly ‘silent’, it produces sounds that are harder for humans to detect but which fall well within the range of a dog’s hearing. This means they can be used in situations where you need to attract your dog’s attention but need something a little more subtle to human ears.
Marine and aquatic
Whether for work or leisure, marine and aquatic environments are some of the most challenging when it comes to communicating effectively over heavy background noise. We highly recommend our shatterproof plastic whistles for use in wet, salty and cold conditions because they are lightweight and gentler on the skin as they don’t get as cold as metal whistles, and will not rust.
