Navigation Compass for Expedition Map reading, Orienteering and Survival Mountaineering or Hiking- Fully Waterproof and Explorer ready

Great little map compass good value for money

A perfectly good compass at a very reasonable price. I purchased four of these for my Cub Pack and they are just as accurate as the very expensive models I have seen other people with. They include a lanyard to keep it safe and all the markings one would expect as well as key ones in phosforescent paint to aid use in the dark. The compass also features a magnifier, a 10cm ruler, a 2" ruler and three map grid measurers. I would happily recommend this compass.

Not bad for the price, though not exactly pro quality. For the price I would definitely buy it again, but if one wants/needs something which is extremely well made and outstanding, then perhaps one would need to shop around a bit more. That does not mean that a more expensive one will necessarily be better.

This item is good everywhere. You are going somewhere and you need to know where is North and South, where is West and East.

This compass was bought because it has the more accurate Mils bezel. Such a comfort when navigating to have the more accurate direction. I was surprised that there is no Tritium label on it though. Unless its no longer that chemical used for the illuminesance. Great if you know how to use the Mils system woop woop (Mag to Grid) :)

I tried to use it for hill walking, Orienteering. I discovered that it has no index line. That's like a car without an engine. the North arrow is flimsy and very unreliable. Basically this is a toy.

Arrived on time, as discussed. That said, on a level surface (I bought 2) both pointed in a slightly different direction. Not to worry, they were only for teaching bearings and I wouldn't have been actually navigating with them. They seem fairly sturdy, but when used in the hand as opposed to on a solid flat surface they take an age to settle so you can actually get a bearing.

I brought this for my son recent weekend away in the new forest. He had adventure training with the Sea Cadets. For the price i was quite happy with the quality and it survived the weekend with my 15 year old son. For this alone i give it 5*
