Kestrel 5500 weather meter
Overall excellent experience so far.
Have not used it to much but quickly learned how to make adjustments. No real learning curve. Have not used data transfer as of yet I did not OP for the link as I have no real use for immediate .transfer of data. Very high quality weather instrument which is accurate and well made..This meter should be great for my hiking, mountain climbing and winter sports.

ExtremeMeters - Kestrel 5500
Kestral Meter is great. Got it as a gift for my son. Service from ExtremeMeters was also great. I had to return the first one, because it was my fault. They made it very easy to do that. I would shop there again for sure.
