Ensure Your Athletes Are Training Under Safe Conditions with the Kestrel Heat Stress Line

By the time your athletes feel the impact of a heat-related condition such as heat stroke, it could be too late. Easily access key environmental data to make informed decisions and prevent heat-related injuries and incidents with rugged, accurate heat index and Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) monitors from Kestrel.

Why WBGT and Not Heat Index?

The heat index is a well-known calculation, but according to the National Weather Service, WBGT is a better guide to managing workload in direct sunlight:

• Heat index takes into consideration temperature and humidity and is calculated in shady areas
• WBGT measures heat stress in direct sunlight, which takes into account: temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover (solar radiation).

Military agencies, OSHA and many nations use the WBGT as a guide to managing workload in direct sunlight.

The Kestrel Heat Stress Line features handheld, portable measurement tools and environmental data loggers that require no distilled water or bulky globes. Getting accurate measurements couldn't be easier: just hold the Heat Stress Tracker in the area of interest for instantaneous and average WBGT measurements.

Features include:

• Easy-to-set WBGT thresholds for flag warnings and the loud buzzer - Bright LED beacon and onscreen warnings provide instant notification of dangerous conditions. 5-year warranty.
• A full-featured weather meter - Measures wind speed, maximum wind gusts, temperature, humidity, pressure, wind chill, density altitude, and more.
• LiNK wireless data communication - Adds a compass for tracking wind direction, expanding its usability to include HAZMAT response. Measures headwind at the running track.
• Tracking and logging of over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data - Data log can be transferred to a mobile device wirelessly with the LiNK wireless communication option and Kestrel® LiNK app, or to a PC/Mac with either the accessory Kestrel® LiNK dongle or waterproof USB data transfer cable (available separately).
