Silva Expedition 5-6400/360 Global Military Compass (NATO)

Includes a Free Grid Reference Tool

A military base plate compass graduated in both Mils and Degrees and with a global needle so you don’t have to take the magnetic zones into account – this makes the compass flexible and possible to use all around the world. The Expedition 5 Global is high performing when it comes to accuracy, precision and durability.

Additional features include measuring scales for positioning (GPS), graduation in mils and degrees (6400/360), integrated adjuster for magnetic declination, magnifying lens and rubber feet for precision map work. The compass has a luminous graduation ring and markings for compass reading in the dark. Once activated by daylight/flashlight it will give light up to 4 hours of light. The included scale lanyard and slope card makes it easier to quickly make a distance judgement of your route or to plan your route in advance.

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.
