High-Quality Models Designed for Orienteering

Compasses designed for orienteering stand out for their precision and ease of use. Equipped with a transparent baseplate and a rotating, graduated capsule, they enable quick reading of azimuths.

The magnetic needle, stabilized by a damping liquid, provides reliable orientation even while in motion, thanks to the Earth’s magnetic field. Some models include:

  • A luminescent dial for nighttime visibility
  • Scales compatible with topographic maps
  • A sighting system for precise navigation

These lightweight, ergonomic instruments can be easily attached to your thumb or wrist, giving runners quick access to orientation information as they move.

The Compass: A Must-Have for Mountain Treks and Remote Expeditions

For adventurers embarking on mountain treks or remote expeditions, a durable compass becomes an essential tool. These dedicated models are built to withstand extreme conditions and feature advanced functionalities.

Key features include:

  • A sighting mirror for increased precision
  • Glow-in-the-dark graduations for nighttime use
  • A clinometer to measure slopes and assess avalanche risks

Expedition compasses often include a built-in magnifying glass, useful for reading details on topographic maps. Their rugged construction protects them from shocks and extreme temperatures, ensuring reliability in the harshest environments.

Choosing a compass designed for long expeditions allows you to navigate safely, even when GPS technology fails.
