    Pros

    Heavy duty, good price, complete with telescoping pole.

    Cons

    Too stiff. If cold and windy it will remain straight out even when the wind dies.

    General Comments

    Over all it's a good wind sock as long as you only need it for direction and not wind speed which is what I wanted.

    Pros

    Gives quick

    Cons

    Does not give any usable information regarding wind speed. Material is too thick for size.

    General Comments

    Product should be constructed with lighter material such as sail cloth.

    General Comments

    I bought this windsock as a novelty, mostly. I mounted it on my roof with an unused satellite dish mount. It's small, but it works relatively well. I don't know if I'd recommend this windsock for anything other than a novelty item, but if you're just looking for a conversation piece, it's perfect. Sporty's shipped it immediately, it was simple to assemble, and it looks to be fairly well built. Time will tell how durable it is, but for the price, you can't really go wrong. I've already had a couple people express interest in getting one for themselves.

    I was looking for a tool, not a decoration.
    It was useless as a tool to measure the windspeed.

    Good size, shows up well from the air. Performs well as the wind blows through.

    Cons

    The frame did not line up for installation so some weld modifications had to be made. It was cheaper and less fuss for me to fix it rather than send it back.

    General Comments

    Overall good value given the frame works correctly.
