Silva Expedition Compass Clear

The Silva Expedition MS compass is for experienced users or professionals in need of a traditional baseplate compass with high-end features. Features easy handling rubber housing, silicon rubber feet for precision map work, detachable safety-release distance lanyard, night-enabling luminous markings, magnifying lens, a clinometer for measuring slope angle, map-measuring scales in mm or inches and GPS scales 1:24 000, 1:25,000, 1:40 000 and 1:50,000, and a built-in adjuster for magnetic declination (including permanent local adjustment).
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 you need to go due to the slope. Always take caution in steep terrain. The risk of avalanches increases if the slope is steeper than 30 degrees.
This compass model is equipped with a detachable scale lanyard that works like a ruler. The scale lanyard has two scales on it – 1:25, and 1:50, which makes it easier to measure the distance of your hike. Since it’s soft and bendable, it’s easy to place directly on to your route on the map when you are out in the terrain – or when you are planning for your next adventure.
