   i love this compass. LOVE IT. and the glow in the dark feature is handy- not least of all when you’re in a pit toilet and you can’t see what you’re doing and you don’t want to accidentally drop said compass. trust me, if you use this regularly, it’ll come up. compass is sturdy, easy to read, fits in your pocket but can be strung to wear around the neck and the mirror site is a godsend for staying on transepts. at first i was annoyed to be paying $40 for a compass, but after a month out in the field with this gal, i take it back. worth every penny. the transepts we were working on were full of deadfall and giant felled fir trees- not easy to stay on a straight line (photo for reference). this compass really helped when we had to go around impassable objects! definitely recommend! the only thing- I had to get my own string to wear it around my neck. not a big deal at all, but something to keep in mind when you order!

   It looks cool. I have several Sunto, Silva and other brand compasses. This is my first Mirror compass. Upon opening, the packaging is marked “Night Use Luminous Markings”. After charging up the luminous markings under a bright light, I went into a darkened room. You can see the marks on the base plate ok, not great, but the marks on the needle itself are undetectable, so it’s useless in a really dark situation. If you can’t see the needle, you probably won’t be able to see the luminous marks either. The luminosity is weak, so it’s not really adding anything to the compass. Also there is a luminous mark on the top, or maybe it’s called the front of the black plastic mirror cover that has a sighting line of luminous paint. Upon closing and opening it for the first time, the line of luminous paint just came off. See the image (compass is on it’s side on a mouse pad). The next thing I noticed is the feel of the black plastic lid. There is a sort of “cheapness” to the quality of the plastic. I can’t describe it, but I can say that things across the board on most gear these days shows a noticeable lowering of standards. The compass itself seems ok. It’s level and the dampening seems fine. The hinge feels good and the lid stays in place with a good hold. The degree ring has got a rubber grip which feels kind of nice. There is a positive grip to it when turning the dial, but we shall see if that lasts. It has 3 grippy feet, I guess if you are using the compass on a flat surface that would aid in holding it in place, the scales are all standard, magnifier ok. Lanyard needs beefing up for sure. I think it will work fine for the most part. The luminous markings are certainly the worst thing about this compass that I see after first unpackaging it. I will update this later after field testing. 4 stars for the crappy luminous paint.

   Purchased this compass for an outdoor wilderness course with the Mountaineers.Using this compass, and looking at a few others out in the field I can say I’m happy with this purchase. It was very easy to see the readings, I liked the ergonomic design, and durability of this. It feels sturdy.

   The compass is very accurate and the sighting features work exactly as advertised. BUT, the bezel is not a 1-360 degree and is set up by quadrants which makes setting and reading the bearings a little more complicated.

   Full of features, easy to read and use, a must have for any navigation planing, exploration, hunting trip….. remember, you will always run out of batteries, is necessary to have an analog backup.

   Silva has been a long time name brand compass. Far better than walmart or other discount compass.
