I'm looking for a digital thermometer that reacts quickly, ideally one that I can easily clip onto my jacket or backpack while I'm hiking. The one I currently have takes too long to give an accurate reading, often several minutes, which isn't practical for my outdoor activities. Any recommendations?

If you're moving at a decent pace, a standard backpack strap thermometer might not keep up with you. I usually hike at about 4 mph, and mine does okay, but it still takes a bit to settle. Are you hiking through areas with a lot of elevation changes? That could affect your readings too!
Have you thought about using an infrared (IR) thermometer? You can point it at something like the trunk of a tree to get a more immediate reading without waiting for the thermometer to adjust. It’s a neat little trick!
Check out the ThermoDrop from ThermoWorks; it's super quick to respond and easy to read. I have a couple in my gear bags and they've been really reliable!
