Swedish company, Silva(R), specialise in high quality outdoor compasses. Their new Ranger compass features a global needle for accurate navigation anywhere in the world. The Ranger Global is a rugged base plate compass for hikers, mountaineers, backpackers and hunters.

The compass includes a scale lanyard for determining the length of your trip on a map. There are four scales on it; 1:24k, 1:25k, 1:50k and 1:62.5k. Since it's soft and bendable, the lanyard can curve around your route on a map. Next to the 360o rotatable housing is a built-in magnifying lens for detailed navigation.

The Ranger Global features DryFlex(TM) grip for easy handling and comes with a declination scale inside the capsule. The base plate is curved up at the back-end for perfect fit in the hand. On the base plate is a ruler in inches and a map-measuring tool in scales of 1:62.5k mile and 1:24k. The needle and base plate graphics are assisted by luminous markings for night time navigation. An essential tool for the adventurous outdoor explorer.
