For those of you who like to know just how cold and windy it really is, the Kestrel 2000 Pocket Wind Meter is your reality check. Whether contemplating which wet suit the cold water warrants, or checking to see how low the wind chill can go in the blind, the Kestrel 2000 is the easy-to-use tool you need.

Winter sports enthusiasts around the world love Kestrel Meters. Thanks to the patented external temperature sensor, the Kestrel 2000 can take accurate water and snow temperature readings, and since it is isolated from the case, you can be sure that the temperature the Kestrel Meter is reading is accurate and not influenced by your hand warming the unit.

Kestrel Meters kept riders and spectators abreast of the weather conditions at the 2006 ESPN X Games in Aspen, Colorado, and were used by the 2006 US Biathlon Olympic Team in Turin to measure air and snow temperature to aid in ski-wax selection decisions and measure the wind downrange.

	1 inch diameter impeller with precision axle and sapphire bearings. Off-axis accuracy -1% @ 5º off-axis; -2% @ 10º; -3% @ 15º. Calibration drift < 1% after 100 hours use at 16 MPH / 7 m/s. Sustained operation above 60 MPH / 27 m/s will wear impeller rapidly and may cause destruction of impeller. Replacement impeller (NK PN-0801) may be field-installed without tools (US Patent 5,783,753).
Temperature 1 second	°F	-49.0 to 257.0 °F	0.1	1.8 °F	-20.0 to 158.0 °F
	°C	-45.0 to 125.0 °C	0.1	1.0 °C	-29.0 to 70.0 °C
	Measures air, water and snow temperature. Thermally isolated, hermetically sealed, precision thermistor mounted externally (US Patent 5,939,645). Calibration drift negligible.
Wind Chill 1 second	°F	0.7 to 135.0 MPH, -49.0 to 257.0 °F	0.1	1.8 °F	1.8 to 89.0 mph, -50.0 to 50.0 °F

	Calculated from the primary measurements of wind speed and temperature. Utilizes the NWS Wind Chill Temperature (WCT) Index, revised 2001, with wind speed adjusted by a factor of 1.5 to yield equivalent results to wind speed measured at 10 m above ground. (Specification temperature limits established by WCT Tables.)
Max/Avg Wind Speed	One-button clear and restart of Max Wind Gust and Average Wind measurement.
Display	Reflective 3 1/2 digit LCD. Digit height 0.36 in / 9 mm.
Display Update	1 second.
Display Backlight	Aviation green electroluminescent backlight.
Operational Temperature Range (LCD and Batteries)	The operational temperature range of the liquid crystal display and batteries is 14° F to 131° F / -10 °C to 55 °C. Beyond the limits of the operational temperature range, the unit must be maintained within range and exposed for minimum time necessary to take reading.
Storage Temperature	-22 °F to 140 °F / -30 °C to 60 °C.
Auto Shutdown	After 45 minutes of no key presses.
Certifications	CE certified. Individually tested to NIST-traceable standards (written certificate of tests available at additional charge).
Batteries	CR2032, one, included. Average life, 300 hours of use, +/-depending on backlight use.
Environmental	Waterproof (IP67 standard). Drop-tested (MIL.STD.810F; unit only. Substantial impact may damage replaceable impeller.).
