The Kestrel 3500 Weather Meter is designed to be a compact easy to use full function environmental weather meter. It’s diminutive size allows it to easily fit into your admin pocket on on your plate carrier or in a pants pocket.

Flanking arrow buttons allow the user to quickly scroll through the various data points listed above and the included CR2032 battery will last an average of 300 hours so power draw is obviously minimal.
