Silva Ranger 2.0 Professional Hiking Compass

The Silva Ranger 2.0 Compass is an advanced mirror sighting compass for experienced users and professionals with who need a high accuracy, precise compass and that is durable and functional.

When you need a mirror sighting compass, the Ranger 2.0 is your ticket there and back. The compass comes with a slope card and a distance lanyard. This compass also includes a slope card which is useful both for detecting avalanche risk and for estimating how challenging your trip will be. By knowing the slope you can estimate the true length of your trip by including extra distance that you need to go due vertically uneven terrain. The bendable distance lanyard which has four scales on it can be placed on a map to help measure the distance of your trek.

A mirror sighting compass such as the Silva Ranger 2.0 is the best choice when you need to determine direction of travel over long distances. With the mirror angled to 45-degrees, you can check your direction by looking at the bezel in the mirror while sighting in the correct direction of travel. This allows you to navigate more accurately because you're able to keep your eyes on the compass while choosing a direction.

The Ranger 2.0 has a DryFlex grip which keeps your compass in your hands instead of at the bottom of a very beautiful ravine. The declination meter (clinometer) included on the Ranger is used for measuring slope angle and comes with an adjuster to account for magnetic declination. The compass also has map-measuring markings in millimeters, inches, scales of 1:25k, 1:50k, 1:24k USGS scale and GPS scales. The scales and markings, which glow when activated by light are printed in a clear and easy to read text atop a highly transparent baseplate making map navigation easier during the day and night. On top of that, the stamped graphics are extra durable. The Ranger's needle is precisely machined from fine Swedish steel.
