4 Ways the Kestrel Wind Meter Enhances Outdoor Adventure

April 6, 2018 Monica Devlin Comments

Whether you consider yourself a thrill-seeker or an outdoor sports extremist, the Kestrel wind meter can take outdoor adventure to a new level. From fly fishing to parasailing, wind can play a significant role in outdoor activities.

This is how the Kestrel wind meter and other environmental products can help you enjoy your time outdoors while conquering your adventure goals:

1. Measuring Wind Speed for Paragliding

Paragliding is the sport of using a lightweight glider aircraft that lifts you into the air by way of wind. Many people go paragliding by running on a hillside or mountain and inflating it over your head like a kite. It’s a popular sport especially in Rio de Janeiro, but it’s enjoyed all over the world.

Wind speed can factor the success of your paragliding plans. In fact, too much wind can make it difficult to launch a paraglider.

Once you find your ideal wind speed, a wind meter can let you know when the conditions are just right to enjoy a birds-eye-view of the world around you.

2. Enjoy White River Rafting without Ruining Your Meter

If white river rafting is your idea of an outdoor adventure, you likely worry about having waterproof technology on hand. With the Kestrel wind meter, you won’t need to think twice about getting this product wet.

This is because the meter is waterproof to 3’/1 meter for 30 minutes and it also floats. You’ll enjoy wind and weather tracking in the palm of your hand without the worry of water damage.

3. Tracking Wind and Weather in Variable Climates

Denali is dubbed as one of the coldest places on Earth. It’s famous for its mountain range which was originally known as Mount McKinley. Located in Alaska, Denali spans over six million acres of wild land that offer hikers the best views of tundra, snowy mountains, and the taiga forest.

The weather in Denali can be difficult to predict. Visitors are told to expect sun, wind, rain, clouds, and snow all in the same day. The Kestrel wind meter can track wind speed, temperature, and other important weather elements - giving you an insight into upcoming weather that might affect your next adventure.

4. Easy to Read in Bright Sunlight

If you choose outdoor adventure in a sunnier area of the country, rest assured that natural light won’t make it difficult to read the screen. This wind meter features a high contrast screen that you can read right in the sunlight—even if you’re touring the grand canyon on horseback.

During nighttime adventures, the screen of this device is backlit for easy monitoring.
