Kestrel 1000 Wind Meter

Kestrel Meter 1000 1800x1800

The Kestrel 1000 is our most basic meter. If all you need is wind measurements, this our least expensive meter. Every meter we sell has the wind features of the Kestrel 1000. The hard slide-on case makes it durable to throw in your gear bag with no worries.

For nearly 20 years on the portable weather meter market, the Kestrel 1000 is still one of the most reliable handheld weather meters.

Kestrel 3000 Weather Meter

Kestrel Meter 3000 Red 1800x1800

Targeted toward and practically required for wild land firefighters in both fighting fires and controlled burn situations. This Kestrel 3000 model was a principle factor that changed firefighting equipment standards from the previous standard, the belt weather kit. It cut the weight of dated weather packs, confusion, and time, to this minimalist approach that was revolutionary in firefighting, where users live literally depend on the accurate weather data their Kestrel 3000 provides.

NK was the first to provide accurate relative humidity (RH) measurements from a hand-held weather meter, and the Kestrel 3000 features two patents on its humidity measuring sensors.

From the Kestrel 3000’s accurate relative humidity readings, it also calculates the dew point and heat stress index —important information to know when working or playing outdoors in hot and humid conditions.

Kestrel 3500 Weather Meter

Kestrel Meter 3500 Yellow 1800x1800

The Kestrel 3500 is the most powerful of the Kestrel 3000 series, measuring temperature, wind speeds, barometric phenomena and pressure trends for up to 3 hours or even longer if needed. The Kestrel 3500 is perfect for the user who needs important weather data, but who doesn’t require the ability to store the numbers for review at a later time. The Kestrel 3500 handheld meter was designed with the same simplicity of the Kestrel 1000 in mind, but with the ability to do much more advanced tasks included in its design.

The Kestrel 3500 NV, with night-vision preserving backlight, was launched in 2005 in response to military personnel and pilot’s requests for a handheld meter that would help them to sustain natural night vision when using it. The Kestrel 3500 NV’s backlight are much dimmer than the lights found in most electronic devices, making it difficult to see with the naked eye during nighttime operations. The backlight uses an optical filter to reduce brightness and minimize the blue and green spectrum light. By utilizing this type of backlight technology, the Kestrel 3500 NV is the best choice for preserving night vision.

Kestrel 5400 Heat Stress WBGT Meter

Kestrel 5400 Heat Stress WBGT Meter

As for weather reading features, they will be the same. You won’t get a ‘better’ temperature reading, wind reading, etc, or even more readings than available on the 4400/4600… still the same quality USA made meter backed by a 5 year warranty. That being said there are some pretty outstanding updates.

The Kestrel 5400 is revolutionary in size, cost and capability for those in need of measuring Heat Stress. Available with or without LiNK (Bluetooth) and / or a compass.

Along with having a Wet Bulb Global Temperature reading, the Kestrel 5400 displays thermal work limit (“TWL”), another recognized composite heat stress prediction tool. For both WBGT and TWL, the Kestrel 5400 provides on-screen alarms when conditions enter the caution and danger zones, providing clear and immediate guidance that heat illness prevention steps must be taken. Clothing levels can also be customized, making the Kestrel 4400 particularly useful in activities requiring heavy protective gear which worsens heat stress. The Kestrel 5400 also displays natural wet bulb temperature, and black globe temperature.
