US Manufacturing
The entire Kestrel line is designed and built in the USA. No other handheld weather meter is. Some electronic components have to be sourced overseas these days, but Kestrel buys American wherever possible. Kestrel believes US manufacturing is the only way to ensure that every Kestrel will do its job right. Kestrel believes it’s important to do its part to keep manufacturing alive and well in the US.

Wind Speed |
|
| Units of Measure: | mph | kt | B | m/s | ft/min / km/h |
| Specification Range: |
|
| Operational Range: |
|
| Resolution: |
|
| Accuracy (+/-): | Larger of 3% of reading, least significant digit or 20 ft/min |
| Notes: | 1 inch|25 mm diameter impeller with precision axle and low-friction Zytel® bearings. Startup speed stated as lower limit, readings may be taken down to 0.4 m/s | 79 ft/min | 1.5 km/h | .9 mph | .8 kt after impeller startup. Off-axis accuracy -1% @ 5º off-axis; -2% @ 10º; -3% @ 15º. Calibration drift < 1% after 100 hours use at 16 MPH | 7 m/s. Replacement impeller (PN-0801) field installs without tools (US Patent 5,783,753). Wind speed calibration and testing should be done with triangle on impeller located at the top front face of the Kestrel. *F/S only in Ballistics units. Beaufort not available in Ballistics units. |

Ambient Temperature: |
|
| Units of Measure: | Fahrenheit, Celsius |
| Specification Range: |
|
| Operational Range: |
|
| Resolution: |
|
| Accuracy (+/-): |
|
| Notes: | Hermetically sealed, precision thermistor mounted externally and thermally isolated (US Patent 5,939,645) for rapid response. Airflow of 2.2 mph|1 m/s or greater provides fastest response and reduction of insolation effect. Calibration drift negligible. Thermistor may also be used to measure temperature of water or snow by submerging thermistor portion into material -- remove impeller prior to taking submerged measurements and ensure humidity sensor membrane is free of liquid water prior to taking humidity-based measurements after submersion. |

Relative Humidity |
|
| Units of Measure: | % |
| Specification Range: | 5 to 95% 25°C non-condensing |
| Operational Range: | 0 to 100% |
| Resolution: | 0.1 %RH |
| Accuracy (+/-): | 3%RH |
| Notes: | To achieve stated accuracy, unit must be permitted to equilibrate to external temperature when exposed to large, rapid temperature changes and be kept out of direct sunlight. Calibration drift is typically less than ±0.25% per year. |

Very fast service & delivery, plus cost effective. TRUSTED 👍👍
C'est un renouvellement ce qui veut dire que nous sommes satisfaits
Used the meter while Spring Gobbler hunting in Wyoming. It worked great !!
Helped me use the wind in my favor to sneak right up on (2) gobblers , resulting in killing the bigger of the 2.
Great product + price—delivered as promised!
Bought the 2500 because it has the most features that I wanted. Dealing with the folks at Extreme Meters was first rate! I will highly recommend them to all that are interested in Kestrel products.
