Feature Details
This classic, analog compass provides all the information that got explorers around perfectly well for hundreds of years, in a snappy, optic green package. It features 2-degree graduations (the series of degree markings on the azimuth ring used for taking bearings) and adjustable declination (the difference in degrees between magnetic north--the direction the magnetic needle on a compass points--and true or geographical north, which is the direction maps are printed toward. It also features 0-35 degree inclination scale (the distance between two points on a map as they relate to the distance between those two points on the earth) and displays this in both inches and millimeters.
Sports reviews of Brunton Classic Compass
Customer Review: Mmmmmm, Compassy!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This compass is just what you need if you're trying to navigate using maps. It's well made and very reasonably priced.
The compass is easy to read and is well damped by the liquid inside.
This isn't the type of compass you'd want to use for regular hiking, but it very well suited for use with maps and charts. Since it doesn't fold, you'd have a hard time putting it in your pocket.
For normal hiking, I prefer a lensatic compass. It's very easy to shoot a bearing to a landmark. Brunton makes a pretty decent unit.
Customer Review: nice backup compass
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I am a really big fan of backup equipment and from multiple manufacturers when it is critical. There are times when I have been doing patrols in deep woods of Europe where I could not get a good GPS signal. That means that you really have to rely on your compass. I have always feared losing a critical piece of equipment. This compass is not fancy but it stays dry and holds up to weapon recoils and shocks pretty well. If I lose my standard issue compass, then this is my plan B.Customer Review: Brunton Classic Compass

Great Value. I got these for my 11 Year old Scouts. It's perfect for what we're doing, beginning orienteering. If you need something more advanced this may not be the stable platform for you. But for beginning Boy Scouts. They eat up this compass. A rock solid beginner compass.Customer Review: A good, basic compass
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This is a perfect companion for basic hikes. Not fancy, easy to slip into your pocket, easy to read...it performs the job of a basic compass very well. For the price, this is an excellent buy.Customer Review: Simple

No frills - for the cost, this is a great, fully functional compass. Comes with passable instructions for use in navigation. Using it for my first adventure race this weekend.
