An earlier poster mentioned that Canadian Coast Guard regs disallow whistles with a "pea" in them on PFDs. I assume the reasoning is that the pea may freeze up the whistle in colder weather. However, surely water could freeze up "pea-free" whistles as well. Plus, not all Canadian waters are subject to freezing temperatures, even in winter. Anyway, since I work for a Canadian outdoor retailer who sells both the Fox whistle and the Storm "pea" whistle, I'd like to have the straight goods to pass on to our customers. Unfortunately, I knee-jerk deleted the posting on this matter. Could the person who posted it contact me on- or off-list? I'd especially appreciate references to the specific regulations or documents. Thanks in advance.
