great compass

What a great deal!! The finest quality materials. I bought this for a friend as has now become my mountaineering buddy. Over the years I have tried several compasses but this one is the most durable and accurate. Sylva got this spot on and understand equipment quality saves lives. Brilliant just brilliant. Having tested it for several months my buddy could not praise it enough. Big thumbs up 👍

Good product, prompt delivery. Can’t go wrong with a Silva.

This compass performs its primary purpose, the needle points to magnetic north. I have confirmed this by comparing to other digital and magnetic compasses.The base plate of this compass is simple, flat, clear plastic. Each edge has a clearly marked ruled scale along it. Additionally, there is a magnifying lens which is a bit crude but does the job if needed.The bezel rotates with just the right reassuring resistance so it is easy to set when required, but doesn’t cause concern that it will unintentionally move.The degree markings on the dial are clear, as is the declination scale and orienting lines.The lanyard has both 1:25k and 1:50k scales on it, however it feels a little flimsy. I think I might replace it with something a little more robust.As it is made of acrylic there are some concerns regarding long term durability, however, so far it is working well. That is the compromise for buying a cheaper product.

great performance, love the fact that you can hang it from your neck for quick and reliable readings.
