Lovers of the great outdoors, Vaavud is for you. Developed in Denmark, this small object – once paired with your smartphone – becomes a real weather station that will inform you about the strength and direction of the wind, to better anticipate your sports escapades.

It is the first pocket device to measure wind speed and direction and should quickly find its place in hiking bags. Before climbing a cliff or taking off to the open sea, it is essential to consider one essential meteorological data: the wind. This small pocket weather station allows you to collect data in situ, by connecting it to your smartphone.
