Silva Compass Pocket Pocket Compass – A Small Compass That Makes a Big Difference
The Silva Compass Pocket is an ultra-light and compact pocket compass that you barely notice in your pocket, but can save the day if you lose GPS signal or otherwise need help navigating.
This compass is not the most advanced in Silva’s lineup, but it is easy to carry – perfect as a backup compass or for hikes where weight and space matter, and you only need the basics to find your way.
The Silva Pocket Compass has some great features and details that we think you will appreciate:
- Thermometer in °C and °F – with the Silva Pocket you get not only direction but also temperature measurement, so you can be aware of changes in weather and environment.
- Ergonomic shape – designed to fit comfortably in your hand and pocket.
- Accurate needle – quick response and precise directional indication.
- Carabiner – included carabiner makes it easy to attach the compass to a jacket, backpack, or belt.
- Scales (mm / map scale) – you can measure distances directly on the map using the scale when you have a map with you.
- Liquid-filled capsule – the compass is designed with a liquid-filled capsule to dampen needle movement and provide accurate readings on uneven terrain.
- Durable and waterproof – built to withstand moisture and tough use outdoors.
The pocket compass is ideal as a backup compass or a solid choice for simple day trips where you don’t face major terrain challenges. It is not an expedition compass with mirror sight or clinometer – but that is also its strength: it is simple and precise, exactly when you need it.
