The Silva Ranger is a traditional baseplate compass used by hikers, mountaineers, backpackers and hunters. It is simple to use but has all the features you need to navigate with a map.
A rubber grip makes it easy to handle, and the back of the baseplate curves up to sit nicely in your hand. Clear markings and a transparent baseplate make map work easier, and once charged by light the luminous markings let you navigate at night.
