Sport without risk, control your environment.

We are already in summer and it is a time where people take advantage of their vacations to escape to the beach and the mountains, and in many cases practicing sports outdoors , even the most daring people practice some sport called risky .

In the practice of these sports the conditions of the environment are very relevant, first of all the meteorological ones , but also the maritime ones or those of the terrain if we move through inland and mountain lands.

Currently, there are many pocket equipment capable of controlling and recording the current meteorological, maritime and topographical conditions, helping us to avoid situations that may pose a danger to us.

At Raig we have these teams, among which are:

• Hand anemometers
  
• Hiking thermometers
  
• Thermometers for seawater, rivers and lakes
  
• Altimeters
  
• Barometers
  
• Binoculars and ground telescopes for observation and surveillance
  

The beach and the sea is the quintessential summer resort, at least in our region. There is no denying that when traveling or leaving , we are always awaiting weather forecasts, but what about once on the ground? We don't have to let our guard down

Sea water temperature:

Before a bath is our main concern, will it be cold ?. With yesterday afternoon's storm, will the temperature have dropped? Will I have the sensation of broth? . Well, in raig we have a specific thermometer to measure the temperature of sea water, but also of rivers and lakes.

Wind speed:

Surfing, Kite surfing, windsurfing, etc. are closely related to wind speed . Also, for example, if we want to fly a kite on the beach. Knowing the speed and direction of the wind is simple through portable or pocket digital anemometers . With them you can measure up to gusts of 150km / h and also know the direction and thermal sensation caused by the wind. As the latest innovation on the market, the digital anemometers for smartphones , the windoo , have been incorporated, which are connected to the input of the earpiece and through an app show all the data on the screen instantly.

These teams are not only valid for water sports, but also for hiking and mountaineering it is of utmost importance to control wind and temperature, in this case even more so in winter .

Observation:

In nautical and navigation observation of the environment is also very important. Observation of the mainland, reefs, islets, changes in the state and color of the sea and also the state of the sky.

On top of a boat we have the "handicap" of continuous movement and for that stable binoculars are recommended and not much increase. The standard is a 7x50 , 7x, 50mm aperture. Some models incorporate a compass and also a rangefinder to control orientation and distances .

In the mountains the weather conditions change rapidly and this can pose a risk situation for the hiker or mountaineer. It is important to be well prepared, for this it is very useful to complete your equipment with a barometric altimeter, a thermometer and a portable anemometer .

Light binoculars are also recommended to have control of the environment at all times. From Raig, we recommend the series between 8 and 10 increases and between 28mm and 32mm of aperture.
