The pocket Kestrel 2500 Time Meter measures wind and temperature with total accuracy, and has the added advantage of an air pressure sensor that provides altitude and barometric information. Kestrel 2500 technology allows you to track changes in air pressure that help predict imminent weather changes. Factor in the digital altimeter of the 2500, and it has most of the weather information you need for outdoor activities ranging from model airplane flying to practice rifle shooting.
Kestrel 2500's user-replaceable sensitive impeller technology provides accurate wind speed information. Additionally, an external temperature sensor and the waterproof housing allow you to measure water temperature (even floating) and snow, as well as outdoors. A sliding disk on the case, safety cord, and battery are included.
Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters like the Kestrel 2500 are an essential tool for target rifle shooters and military professionals and of great value for outdoor enthusiasts (such as skiers and mountain climbers) who need accurate minute-by-minute weather information.
For military professionals, the olive gray NV version of the Kestrel 2500 features a backlight for preserving night vision. The backlight incorporates an optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. (Note: This backlight appears a soft grayish pink, not 'red', and is still in the visible spectrum, so it is not compatible with night vision equipment.)
