Oregon Scientific Launches The Handheld Altimeter

Whether it’s mountain climbing, off-piste skiing or long distance hiking the new Oregon Scientific Handheld Altimeter will help you stay safe in the great outdoors.  This hugely sensitive device calculates altitude based on variations in air pressure.  Also equipped with a weather forecaster and digital compass, the Handheld Altimeter is the ultimate must have safety device for any adventurer. 

            The altimeter provides accurate altitude level readings and local and sea level barometric pressure readings.  It displays user settable altitude levels from 400m to 9000m measurement range. So whether you’re an intrepid traveller like explorer Ranulph Fiennes or are a keen off piste powder skier, the Oregon Scientific Altimeter is a handy tool to have.             It is essential for anyone embarking on an extreme adventure to be fully aware of temperature and any possible weather forecast – you don’t want your morning of mountain parachuting to be ruined by a last minute shower or icy frost. The Altimeter digitally displays outside temperature and forecasts the weather for the next 12-24 hours.  So if it’s reached freezing point or tomorrow’s forecast holds thick cloud, the Oregon Scientific Handheld Altimeter will make sure you’re entirely prepared.              A compass can be pivotal to outdoor enthusiasts’ safety.  If you’ve got lost off-piste or you seem to have wandered into an unknown area of forest, then the Altimeter’s digital compass can help you find your way back to security.  With its user-adjustable declination angle and true north calibration you’ll be safe to rely on its readings if ever in an unsure situation.
