Kestrel 3000 Wind Meter | Humidity & Heat Stress | Hinco Perth WA

The Kestrel 3000 Wind Meter measures wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, heat stress index, and dewpoint. Trusted by wildland firefighters worldwide. Waterproof, backlit display, user-replaceable impeller.

The Kestrel 3000 wind meter is the instrument that transformed field weather measurement for wildland firefighters. By combining wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, heat stress index, and dewpoint in a single pocket-sized device, it replaced the bulky belt weather kits previously carried by fire crews — giving faster, more accurate readings with less equipment to carry.

The 3000 remains a benchmark instrument for fire services, mining safety officers, and any professional who needs reliable heat stress and humidity data alongside wind speed. It is compact, waterproof, and built to MIL-STD-810G drop-test standards for dependable performance in demanding environments. Available from Hinco, Perth’s authorised Kestrel distributor.
