top notch Compass
This compass was exactly what I was looking for. It is just what I used in the army. Not too heavy, Rugged! and when your eyes are use to the dark, it is almost like it had a light build in to the compass. The 3H luminescence painted on the direction of travel line and the compass "needle" disc light the compass up so well you can easily see the important features of a compass without using a flashlight. With this compass you can really do night Navigation! It won't be the compasses fault if you get lost.
I believe that this is the compass to have. The other compasses are just imitations of this one. This Compass is the compass I will keep with me from now on! and well worth every penny!

A great Map and orienteering compass
This is a great compass for working with a map or waking the land. It has a set of scales for measuring distances on most maps and it is a great compass for walking out the path that you have determined you need to walk to get to your destination. On the side of the base plate there is a measuring scale in inches and millimeter. If you are looking at the scale of inches all you need to do to measure in millimeter is to slide the scale off and turn it over and slide it back on again. The base plate is big enough to fill most hands, with no sharp edges and thick enough to last almost for ever. The odd shape helps you to hold it in you hand without hurting or sliding around. I own several compasses and this, I believe, will become my go-to compass for laying out paths of travel and following those plans. I am no big fan of the Declination Adjustment system. It is difficult to adjust, but I still love everything else about this compass.
