Another one to consider besides the jetscream,Fox40s and Acmes.

This one actually has synthetic peas that they claim won't absorb moisture and stick. I still think that pealess is the way to go, the less to go wrong the better.

I never had my Acme Thunder pea type whistle fail me, wet or dry, but I still think that pealess is the way to go...
