Silva Ranger Compass Green

High performance Silva compass, now with a global needle. A traditional baseplate compass commonly used by serious compass users such as mountaineers, backpackers and hunters. The global needle makes this compass flexible and suitable for use around the world.

The compass comes with a scale card and distance lanyard. The scale card is great for calculating the avalanche risk and working out how difficult your trek will be. Using the scale, you can also work out how much extra distance the slope will result in. The distance lanyard has four scales; 1: 24k, 1: 25k, 1: 50k y 1: 62.5 to facilitate distance measuring. It’s soft and flexible which means it can be easily placed directly onto your map.

The Ranger Global features DryFlex grip for easy handling and comes with a use-anywhere declination scale inside the capsule, a magnifying lens, and base plate map-measuring in mm and scales of 1:25k, 1:50k. The baseplate has a curved-up at the back-end for perfect fit in the hand. The red/black north-south lines in the capsule bottom ensures easy and safe settling. The distinct arrow and scales/markings in a clear contemporary font combined with lots of transparency in the baseplate makes navigating easier – when activated in light the luminous markings enable night time navigation. The needle is made from finest Swedish steel with high quality magnetic features.
