Find you Compass
There are many types of compasses, and they all have different features and levels of complexity. Start with the basics, and then learn more along the way. Your new skills will take you further, and to new places, and we believe it will even add an extra layer to your experience – and the extra safety you need when outdoors.
BASEPLATE COMPASS
The most common type of compass. Basic, yet functional for your outdoor adventure. Ideal for taking quick bearings and map use.
GLOBAL COMPASS
There are three different balancing zones for compasses: Magnetic Equator, Magnetic North and Magnetic South. If you travel a lot, a global compass will show the way in all three magnetic zones.
