Current temperature and pressure measurements are just a couple of the ADC Summit's skills. The unit also analyzes temperature and pressure trends and displays the data from the past 24 hours. More importantly, it absorbs all the data and predicts the weather over the next 12 hours, so you'll know whether to turn back from a hike or trudge on. Users will also dig the ADC Summit's multiple alarms, including an alarm that sounds when storms approach, an altitude alarm (for when users ascend too quickly), and a wind chill alarm.
The ADC Summit is valuable from a training perspective as well, with an integrated chronograph, race timer, and ski run counter. Additional features include a water flow meter, a real-time clock with date information, and manual and automatic data logging. The waterproof ADC Summit, which runs on a single 3-volt lithium battery, can even transmit its information to a PC via its IR interface for further analysis. As a final bonus, the unit carries a two-year warranty.
