Silva Terra Ranger SL Compass
Silva simply make the best, and most recommended compasses in Europe. They are the Number One go to product for Mountain Leaders everywhere, the compass to buy for anyone signing up to the MLTB and are extensively used by Military Forces Worldwide.
I know the modern preference is "I'll just use my phone...", well, maybe speak to Mountain Rescue teams around the World and ask them how many people they pull off Mountains with that attitude. Don't get me wrong, you use every tool available to you for good navigation, but the basis of that kit should always start with a Map and Compass, oh, and knowing how to use them....
There are various different products in their range so there is definitely a perfect fit for everyone needing a good navigation tool.
Choose a brighter future with the more sustainable Terra Expedition S from Silva - made from hemp and recycled plastics. Terra Ranger SL is a a very small sighting compass, especially appreciated by backpackers and climbers.
Terra Ranger SL belongs to Silva Terra: a product serie made of recycled materials with 90% less carbon emissions. The lid, graduation ring and baseplate on Terra Ranger S are made of REVO material. This is a great smaller compass that's ideal for your pocket or survival kit.
The Terra Ranger SL features a built-in sun dial that helps you see what time it is judging by the position of the sun. It has luminous markings that enables night navigation. The compass can be attached to your jacket with a safety pin, thereby allowing hands-free navigation.
This compass features a mirror that allows you to view the compass dial and the background at the same time. The fact that the compass dial can be seen at the same time the reference point is aligned makes mirror compasses more desirable for taking accurate bearings. A mirror-sighting compass is at its best in open terrain where you must determine direction over long distances.
