Kestrel 3500 Pocket Wind Meter

Kestrel 3500 Offers

This weather meter was designed as a full weather meter without the ability to capture and store data as with the next level up with the Kestrel 5000. Depending on your budget, the 5000 at just a little more in price is something to consider with a much brighter screen with the newest technology, including an RH that does not need to be calibrated.

Pocket Wind Meters Measure

• Barometric pressure
• Altitude
• Relative humidity
• Heat stress index
• Dew point
• Wet bulb temperature
• Wind chill
• Air, water, and snow temperature
• Current wind speed
• Average wind speed
• Maximum wind gust

This weather meter measures temperature, wind speeds, barometric phenomena, pressure trends of up to 3 hours, and more. This weather meter provides a complete range of weather measurements, but does not log accumulated data like the more high-tech weather meters of the Kestrel 5000 series. For those who need a full reading of only the latest weather information, this weather meter is the ideal Kestrel Meter.

This weather meter has all the capabilities of the Kestrel 3000, plus:

• Barometric Pressure
• Barometric Trend
• Altitude
• Clock

In addition to this weather meter’s pressure trend indicator, it also has the advantage of altitude and barometric pressure measurement. With these features on hand at any time, this weather meter becomes an ideal weather instrument for outdoor enthusiasts, sportsmen and women, and anyone else that will benefit from accurate and up to the second weather and barometric information.

The Barometric Trend feature is not quite the graph of the Kestrel 4000 series, but rather an arrow indicator. The arrow will indicate the trend of the previous 3 hours even if the meter was off. If the batteries are changed, the arrow will show just the current trend, not historical.

For military, or just those using it at night a lot, the Olive Drab NV version of this weather meter features a night-vision preserving backlight. Backlight incorporates optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. (Note: This backlight appears soft greyish pink, not “red”, and is still in the visible spectrum, so is not compatible with night-vision equipment.)

This weather meter’s easy to use menu system scrolls through 9 different environmental measurement conditions. It has an external temperature sensor with a waterproof casing that allows you to gauge the temperature of water, snow, and the open air. The sensitive and user-replaceable impeller technology provides accurate wind speed info, and a hard slide-on case, lanyard, and battery are included.
