Gear Review
A little big but functional

This product seemed to work well but for me, it was a little bulky. I was also concerned about the durability of the wind sensing impeller since it does not have a cover. Ultimately, I returned this because of these reasons and will probably get the Trail Tech Altitech which is slightly smaller but with less features. If you do not mind the bulk and need the functions, I think it would work great.

The wind speed indicator does close because it is on a rotating spherical base that rolls shut. We love our unit. It is completely waterproof so it can be imersed in water and thus water current can be checked with the wind speed indicator. The unit is always on. It uses very little energy and the battery lasts quite a while. We have not changed ours yet and had it two months. It is too bad that they don't make these batteries in rechargables but it is not a big deal.
