The Silva Ranger Compass is the gold standard for no-nonsense wilderness navigation. Whether you are a seasoned hiker, mountaineer, or hunter, this traditional baseplate compass provides the essential features needed to navigate the dense woods and fog-prone coastlines of the Maritimes. Featuring a high-quality Swedish steel needle and a rubberized grip for easy handling with gloves or wet hands, the Ranger is built for reliability when your GPS fails. Its transparent baseplate and magnifying lens make detailed map work effortless, ensuring you stay on track through the most challenging terrain.
