The Silva Race Plate Zoom Compass is ideal for all orienteers who are looking for a compass of exceptional quality with unbeatable needle settling time and stability even when running.
The baseplate is what sets this compass apart from the others. Significantly smaller than most models, the Race Plate fits perfectly in your hand and comes with a built-in magnifier. It also has a smaller capsule, reducing the risk of bubbles. To keep the compass clean and simple, the stencil holes are not on the baseplate but instead come on a separate “scale and stencil hole” card. The outstanding SILVA Jet needle is the world's fastest and is designed to increase map visibility. Ultra fast and stable, this precise and reliable compass needle will allow you to make quick decisions when it really counts. The rubber feet beneath the compass provide excellent grip for excellent map contact.
SILVA compasses have a rich heritage and have long been the number one choice for orienteers world over. Forever accurate. This is SILVA.
