9020G
Reviewed by Jonathan Wood, Dec 11, 2006

"I agree with the first reviewer that there are better compasses out there for wilderness hiking, like the Silva Polaris or the Suunto M-2D or M-5.

As mentioned, the problem with the Brunton adjustable declination design is that it uses only friction to hold it in place (instead of a geared screw mechanism like Suunto or Silva) and it can and does slip occasionally."

"This is a great compass. I use it for orienteering and I have not had a problem. The only thing is that I had to add a soft cord to it (my second - lost the first) so that I can keep it around my wrist and then held tightly in my hand. I just wish the company would have include this feature."

"This compass was one of the first purchases I made when beginning to hike the wilderness. It is a simple compass with a small baseplate. The optic green/yellow baseplate is supposed to assist in legibility reading when placed over a map, this is something you'll either love, or hate."
