Silva Silvia Ranger SL MS Compass

The Silvia Ranger SL is a very small, compact sighting compass especially appreciated by backpackers and climbers.

Equipped with all the features you need for your adventures, the Ranger SL has a built-in sun dial to tell the time and luminous markings for night navigation. The compass can be attached to your jacket with a safety pin, allowing for hands-free navigation. The Ranger SL also features a rotatable compass housing which enabled easy navigation using the Silva 1-2-3 technique.

The mirror within the compact compass allows for sighting at longer distances, where you can view the compass dial and the background at the same time. The fact that the compass dial can be seen at the same time the reference point is aligned makes mirror compasses more desirable for taking accurate bearings. A mirror-sighting compass is at its best in open terrain where you must determine direction over long distances.
