The SILVA Expedition Compass is an accurate, precise and durable compass designed to be used by experienced outdoor users and professionals.
With two completely new features, the Silva Expedition Compass now has a Slope card and a Scale lanyard. The slope card is great for both detecting avalanche risk and for determining how challenging your journey will be. By knowing the slope you can also judge any extra distance that you need to go due to the slope. The scale lanyard has two scales on it; 1:25, and 1:50, which facilitates to measure the distance of your hike. Since its soft and bendable it’s easy to place it directly on to your route on the map. The new graphics contain a more distinct arrow (Expedition) and also a more contemporary font. The compass also comes in an easy-handling Dryflex™ housing and has silicon rubber feet for precision map work. Also featured is a detachable safety-release lanyard, night-enabling luminous markings, magnifying lens, a clinometer for measuring slope angle, map-measuring scales in mm or inches, 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and GPS scales, plus built-in adjusters for magnetic declination (including permanent local adjustment). The Expedition can also map-measure 1:40,000.
If you are in need of a traditional baseplate compass with high-end features, the Expedition should be your choice. If the terrain demands for a mirror sighting compass then the Expedition S is your optimal companion.
