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. I used the soft cord found on one of my shopping bags from a typical mall (women's clothing store bag).

I had to purchase a second one after I lost the first in an adventure race. Good thing I lost it as I was finishing the orienteering section. : )

An option cloth case with velcro might be purchased so as to keep it secured to the chest straps of your Hydration Pack but then it need a cord long enough to get a good reading - away from your body, watch, etc.
