The northern compass is consists of a metal housing and a plastic back, it won’t freeze up below zero temps. The front is a glass sighting window with a sighting line and the back carved slope scale. The dimensions of the magnetic compass is 3.35″ x 2.48″ x 1.2″.
The sighting compass has a bubble balance point at the right bottom corner, it can help put compass in leveled ground or surface. The military compass also has aiming assistant holes, so that to aim to far away objects, than compare in the map to locate yourself.
The sighting lens that clearly shows the azimut, and the azimuth can be read either from top or through eyepiece that reads the edge markings.
The compass’ interface glows in the dark, so even when night falls, you can still soldier on,which does not depend on it is exposed to light or not.
The compass comes with a durable OD canvas with two ways to hang it from your belt, and there’s a lanyard on the compass itself if you’re looking for some post-apocalyptic bling for your neck.
Great Quality! Ordered for my 11 yr old son who is really into the military and outdoors. Its good quality, just heavy enough and tons of features. He likes the cord to hang it around his neck.
You get what you pay for. These easily run $200+ Fantastic for the price! I was expecting the compass to be a little heavier but it still seems durable. We have it in my fiance’s “Go” bag and when he tested it he felt it wold work well enough. I would prefer if the face was also glow in the dark but the bezzle will be good enough for at least skimming the direction if needed.
Great compass! I ordered this for my kiddo who learned how to use a compass over the summer. Being a valuable skill I wanted to nurture I was looking for q good quality heavy duty compass. I am so glad I chose this. He can use it no problem. He has dropped it and it has not affected its center of balance. Im hoping he can show me how to use it so it ups my survival skill point level. Great compass!
