Expedition Compass

The Lifesystems Expedition Compass is a compact, reliable baseplate compass built for orienteering, hiking and expedition map work. Its dual 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scales and built-in magnifier make precise map reading straightforward, while luminous markings and a smooth rotating bezel let you keep navigating after dark. A genuinely capable tool for anyone learning navigation or relying on it in the hills.

• Large baseplate magnifier for reading fine map detail and grid references with precision.
• Luminous markings on the direction-of-travel arrow, index line and north needle for night navigation.
• Smooth rotating bezel with a declination scale inside the capsule for setting and following accurate bearings.

• Detachable soft lanyard to keep it secure and to hand, at a packable 37g.
