Explorer PRO Compass, Clear, One Size (Pack of 1)

I like the user interface of this compass and other Silva compasses. Such as the Silva Expedition G 360, Silva Lensatic 360 Engineer and Silva Ranger 2.0. All have the same problem. Weak luminous on the North Needle. What good are all the other luminous markings (which are nice and bright) if the North-needle is so damn dim you can't see it after 2 minutes? Silva must have bought a gazillion of these needles balanced with thin luminous and are working through inventory.All in all, Great in daytime... not so much for night use without constant lighting with flashlight or glow-stick. Adjustable declination, yes. Subtle Clinometer, yes. I also like having the map orienting lines in the capsule unhindered by a company logo as the competition has done.If having bright working luminous is your top choice/priority, go with the competition (suunto). If you want daytime use with clean usable markings, go Silva!

Great Compass, although made in chinaIt seems to be undamaged and functional.

This is the North American version of Silva (not built in Sweden), however the construction is sturdy and durable. The needle is dampened well, does not 'dance' in the housing and settles fast. The slope angle indicator built into the compass is nice, as is the declination adjustment capability. Certainly worth the asking price...

Accurate and reliable even in ferrous mountain terrains

Easy to use and very accurate like all Silva compasses but the lack of a luminous bezel makes it impossible to see the degrees at night. The only luminous markers being the needle and 2 marks in the direction of travel. Furthermore the degrees are marked on the lower outside ring on the bezel making them hard to read when looking down while using it. Still, it works great as all Silva products do, but there are better choices

This old Eagle Boy Scout bought this compass as a gift to a new Boy Scout. This Silva compass is just as high quality as the Silva compass I was gifted way back in 1968. Great value for the quality.

Really well-made baseplate compass for any Scout or outdoorsman. Has a few extra bells and whistles than many average users will not need, but they're nice to have. Declination adjustment is a nice touch and is easy to use with the included tool. Keep in mind...no compass will do much more than tell you where North is unless you know how to use it in conjunction with a map.

Perfetta

Item is American version made for Northern Hemisphere it doesn't work in Australia. Needle slopes and catches on baseplate giving errors. It is not suitable for use in Australia and needed to be returned. Look for the versions marked 'MS' it will be on the package label on back. This one had a label referring to California regulations.

The compass comes with a US slope card not a European slope card. This information is missing the product description.

Si vous savez utiliser cette boussole, elle vous servira en rendonnée. Très utilse par exemple en rendonnés de montagnes sans guide.

Great compass. Top value.
