Navigation you can rely on

The Kombat UK Mountain Compass does exactly what it says on the tin. It is a robust baseplate orienteering compass graduated in degrees, built for map reading in the outdoors. Whether you are learning the basics or brushing up your navigation, it is a dependable tool at a friendly price.

Easy to read in the field

The fluorescent green baseplate lifts the contrast against your map, so the meridian lines and index markings stand out clearly. Those meridian lines make it quick to line up a bearing and transfer it between map and ground.

Measure as you go

Scale rules in mm, cm and 1/8 inch run along the edges, letting you measure distances straight off the map. A compact 9 x 6.5 x 1.5 cm body slips easily into a pocket or map case, and the included orange cord lanyard keeps it secure and to hand.

Who it is for

This compass is ideal for orienteering, hiking and Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. Please note it is not designed for cadet or formal military use, but for outdoor enthusiasts and students it is a solid, honest bit of kit.
