Equipped with sophisticated, reliable functions, they are ideal for demanding conditions and for professionals. Navigation without Batteries A mechanical compass and a map are still the most reliable tools for navigation. Suunto compasses are easy and quick to use due to their advanced technology and thoughtful as well as their stable design. Always the Right Solution Suunto compasses allow you to navigate with precision even in difficult conditions. There is something for everyone in the range, from beginners to advanced. Engineered for Precision The compasses are made with the highest precision from the highest quality materials to offer maximum durability and accuracy. Review: Excellent compass - I have used this for navigation during day and night in the Lake District and New Forest, it is the best compass I have tried. A couple of less obvious points about it: First, the luminosity of the dial, the needle and the direction of travel markers is very very bright, assuming that the luminous paint has been sufficiently charged up by a light source such as your head torch. Second, the base plate is substantially thicker than other compasses, and it has a very robust feel. Also with the mirror extended flat, it is possible to orient quite long lines on the map. The compass has a feature for measuring the incline of a slope, which looks like it could be really useful, but I have not used yet. It comes with a comprehensive user guide that actually gives you a primer on several important navigation techniques. Two very minor negative points. The magnifier on the base plate is quite small, so less useful than on other compasses... there just isn't enough space on the base plate for it. The direction is indicated only in mils, it would be nice if there was a secondary scale showing degrees. Finally the distance measurement scales are present for 1:25000 (OS Exporer maps) and 1:50000 (OS Landranger maps), but it would be nice to also have 1:40000 (Harvey maps). Review: Excellent (if you need a compass that is) - I have used several types of compass over a large number of years from the military prismatic type to both Silva and Suunto orienteering types. All have their particular virtues. Prismatics are almost impossible to break and are the most accurate, orienteering types weigh virually nothing and are very easy and quick to use, not as accurate as the prismatic but plenty good enough for most normal purposes. They're pretty robust but it is possible to break the baseplate and the markings can wear off with extended use. This one was bought to serve both in the UK and overseas as it has a global needle. The mirror housing, in addition to preforming it's intended function as part of the compass and clinometer sighting mechanism, also provides very useful protection to the needle housing and baseplate. Seems pretty bombproof to me and still very lightweight. Just throw away the curious little plastic clip and thread the lanyard directly into the compass baseplate, then it should still be with you when you need it! ## Features - Advanced Navigational Compass: Made with serious hikers in mind, this professional mirror compass was designed for precise directional measurement and has been balanced for global use with Metric UTM scales and inch ruler - Precise And Dependable: Operable in low light conditions, the MC-2 Compass includes a sighting hole and notch for accurate bearings, declination adjustment tool, and a clinometer - Stay On Course: Made in Finland, Suunto mechanical compasses help you safely and accurately navigate the great outdoors; Great for Alpine skiing, hiking, trekking, mountain biking, trail running and more - Pioneering Exploration: Combining advanced engineering and thoughtful design with ultra durable materials, our adventure ready compasses are fast, stable, and simple to use; No batteries required - Authentic Heritage: Founded in 1936, Suunto brings over 80 years of high quality heritage craftsmanship, relentless accuracy, and pioneering innovation to our watches, compasses, and dive products ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001UE6ML6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 36,121 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 81 in Compasses (Sports & Outdoors) | | Brand | SUUNTO | | Brand Name | SUUNTO | | Country Of Origin | Finland | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,218 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 06417084042477 | | Included Components | Mc-2 Nh Mirror Compass | | Item Dimensions L x W | 24L x 9.2W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Compasses | | Item Weight | 74 Grams | | Item weight | 74 Grams | | Manufacturer | SUUNTO | | Manufacturer Part Number | SS004247001 | | Map Scale | 1:24,000 or 1:25,000 | | Map scale | 1:24,000 or 1:25,000 | | Material | Stainless Steel Plastic Aluminum Glass | | Material Type | Stainless Steel Plastic Aluminum Glass | | Model Number | SS004247001 | | Product Warranty | 2-Year | | Product dimensions | 24L x 9.2W centimetres | | Special Features | Adjustable | | Special feature | Adjustable | | UPC | 045235301003 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SUUNTO - **Item weight:** 74 Grams - **Material:** Stainless Steel Plastic Aluminum Glass - **Product dimensions:** 24L x 9.2W centimetres - **Special feature:** Adjustable ## Images ![MC-2 Mirror Compass, Global/Northern Hemisphere Orientation Adventure/Hiking Compass, Magnifying Lens, Adjustable Declination & Luminous Markings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71W7kRGfWLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent compass *by N***T on 7 November 2018* I have used this for navigation during day and night in the Lake District and New Forest, it is the best compass I have tried.
