Rothenberger,

WeatherBeard sensitivity is directly proportional to beard length and indirectly proportional to beard density and average hair shaft thickness. This means stiffer, denser WeatherBeards require more length to accurately detect wind parameters with the same accuracy as a thinner WeatherBeard. It is also why individual calibration is critically important in the proper setup and use of a WeatherBeard.
