Product Overview;
The Kestrel 5500 Weather Meter with LiNK + Vane Mount in tan is a complete, portable weather monitoring system for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts. The only difference from the yellow version is the color. The tan color is often preferred for tactical applications, as it is less conspicuous than yellow.
