A compass for everyday adventure, the Silva Field Compass was designed as an entry level navigation aid to meet the demands of schools, youth groups and the leisure outdoor navigator and it is an easy to use, reliable and economic way to ensure you are never geographically embarrassed.
The Silva Field features: • DryFlex™ rubber grip for secure grip and easy handling of the compass • A declination scale inside the capsule, that can be used anywhere • A base plate with map-measuring scales in mm. • Scales of 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 that are compatible with most maps. • A detachable safety-release lanyard ensures that as well as you, your compass never gets lost! • Light in weight – only 28 grams – so you won’t even know you are carrying it. • This is a tool that will suit everyone from students through to more serious adventurers.
Silva invented the liquid-filled baseplate compass and built an unsurpassed reputation for quality and accuracy that it has maintained since its founding by orienteer Björn Kjellström in Sweden in 1933.
