SILVA Expedition 360 Global Compass
Includes a Free Grid Reference Tool
This compass is identical to the Expedition except that it works in both the northern and southern hemispheres and the bezel is brown instead of orange. So, if you are planning to travel south of the equator this is the compass for you.
The Silva Expedition Series are top of the range traditional base plates compasses with high-end features.
This compass features easy-handling rubber housing, silicon rubber feet for precision map work, detachable safety-release distance lanyard, night-enabling luminous markings, magnifying lens, a clinometer for measuring slope angle, map-measuring scales in mm or inches and GPS scales 1:25,000, 1:40 000 and 1:50,000, plus built-in adjuster for magnetic declination (including permanent local adjustment). For use anywhere in the world.
In addition to the free SR GRT you will also receive:
Slope Card
The slope card is great both for detecting avalanche risk and for determining how challenging your journey will be. By knowing the slope you can also judge any extra distance that you need to go due to the slope. Always take caution in steep terrain. The risk of avalanches increase if the slope is steeper than 30 degrees. The slope card will help you detect this risk. For use in the northern hemisphere only.
Scale Lanyard
This compass model is equipped with a detachable scale lanyard that works like a ruler. The scale lanyard has two scales on it; 1:25, and 1:50, which makes it easier to measure the distance of your hike. Since its soft and bendable it’s easy to place directly on to your route on the map when you are out in the terrain – or when you are planning for your next adventure.
