Quite possibly the ultimate compass. Good clinometers for checking slope angles in couloirs and for avy danger.
This advanced compass features a magnetized disk for accurate bearings and comes with helpful reference cards that store inside the compass.- Magnetized disk is more accurate than conventional needles and settles quickly for fast, accurate bearings
- Anti-static, liquid-filled dial with jeweled bearing features 1 degree gradations to ensure accuracy, sighting mirror for improved accuracy
- Ergonomic rubber shoe on bottom of compass grips map surface and is comfortable to hold
- Declination adjustment scale allows you to account for the difference between magnetic and true north; scale on base is adjustable to your location
- Three different clinometers for measuring slope angles -- useful for determining snow slope stability and for surveying
- Two of the clinometer scales offer 5-degree increments, 1 offers 1-degree increments
- Includes USGS map scale 1:24,000, ft, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and mile scales for position accuracy
- Waterproof field reference cards includes navigational, topographical and survival information that store in the compass
- Includes built-in magnifier, protective, flip down cover and lanyard

| kghirardi | Untitled Review | | Voted 5/5 | A good medium price Compass/Clinometer.
Durable, with a lot of features. Only drawback is lack of luminious markings, but then again never go anywere without a light.
For the money you can't buy a better compass. | | Posted Nov 20, 2002 10:16 am |

Voted 5/5 | This compass does it all, but you better know what you're doing before hand or you'll be confused! It's not for the average weekender trying to find that certain fishing hole. Mine has been used quite often in the BC and is a great tool, as mentioned, for figuring snow and even scree slopes if you're so inclined. | | Posted Jan 25, 2007 10:02 pm |
