Building confidence with a map and compass starts with a tool that's straightforward to use and reliable in the field, and the Silva Field compass delivers exactly that for new nav igators heading outdoors for the first time. Designed for schools, youth groups, and recreational paddlers and hikers developing their navigation skills, the Field compass covers the core functionality without unnecessary complexity. Baseplate scales in mm, 1:25,000, and 1:50,000 match the most commonly used Canadian topographic maps, and the declination scale inside the capsule allows for magnetic variation adjustment as skills progress. A sapphire jewel bearing provides smooth, friction-free needle movement for accurate readings even on the move. The updated graphics feature a more distinct needle arrow and cleaner font for faster, easier reading at a glance. Dryflex rubber bezel improves grip and handling in wet or cold conditions, and the detachable safety-release lanyard keeps the compass secured and accessible on the trail or water. At 28 grams it adds nothing to your pack weight and fits comfortably in any pocket.
