Kestrel 1000 Pocket Wind Meter

Every Kestrel Meter features a large, 1” impeller mounted on a sapphire jewel bearing, which means it starts rotating with the slightest puff of air – 0.3 mph to be exact! The Kestrel 1000 can easily be switched between mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort. And this unique impeller is user-replaceable, too, which means it can easily be replaced if it is damaged or worn.

Here’s the one that started it all! We developed the Kestrel 1000 Pocket Wind Meter in 1995 when NK co-owner Richard Kellerman needed a reliable wind meter for flying his glider. Over 10 years later, it looks a little slicker, and it still gives you the reliable, accurate wind measurements that you need. The large impeller turns in the faintest of breezes and is easily replaced. The hard cover lets you throw the Kestrel 1000 into your pack without damage.
