Silva Expedition Compass MS 37452

The SILVA Expedition Series is for experienced users and professionals. The Expedition series has been a global leader when it comes to accuracy, precision and durability for many years. Now with two completely new features: a Slope card and a Scale lanyard.

Silva Expedition features easy-handling Dryflex housing, silicon rubber feet for precision map work, 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.

The slope card is great both for 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 measuring the distance of your hike. Since it's soft and bendable it's easy to place it directly on to your route on the map.

If you are in need of a traditional baseplate compass with high-end features, the Expedition should be your choice.
