Awareness of your environment is the best way to safeguard any outdoor adventure. The Kestrel 3000 is a compact weather sensor which offers accurate, easy to read measurements. Wind speed (up to 89 mph), is measured using an ultralight aluminum impeller mounted in sapphire bearings, which provide highly accurate readings and the ability to measure even the slightest breeze. Built in temperature and humidity sensors provide these measurements and allow the unit to calculate windchill and dewpoint. The unit is water resistant and floats, making it ideal for land or water activities. A protective case and neck lanyard keep the unit safe when not in use. Measures 4 3/4" v 1 3/4" x 1/2".

Windbrella Windbrella

Tired of wasting your money on umbrellas that flip inside out and tear every time a strong gust of wind goes by? Our new Windbrella has revolutionized the umbrella industry. Even in gale force winds, this umbrella will not turn inside out! The secret is it's innovative double canopy design where the mesh venting system in the lower canopy allows the wind to pass through while the upper canopy keeps the rainout. The reinforced fiberglass shaft is lightweight and provides extra strength. The ribs and spreaders under the canopy will not crimp, rust or bend out of shape. The nylon canopies are specially treated to resist fading and the impressive 62" arc offers plenty of protection from the elements. Since it comes with a limited lifetime warranty, this is simply the last umbrella you'll ever need to buy. Available in hunter/cream (shown), navy/white or black.
