ProsterWaterproof Hiking Compass with Fluorescent Scale - Compass Navigation with Clinometer & Carry Bag Military Compass Professional for Camping Mountaineering & Outdoor Survival

Great compass, solidly well built, reliable. Clear optical viewer. Decent weight and belt pouch means it's handy. good value for money. Has good functions for all experience levels for navigating. Great for night time navigating due to luminous dial.

Bought this for my daughter's DoE alongside the recommended compass which was more expensive but was a win-win. She chose the compact one recommended so I appropriated this one. I'll be honest, I only walk to the shops but if I ever get lost I know which compass I want to pull out and aim the cross-hairs at the nearest hill, measuring the inclination while seeing the bearing through the lens reassuring other shoppers that I know where home is.It's very well built and the lens is very clear. The price is very reasonable and you feel your getting a piece of engineering.

Bought this for my boyfriend's birthday trek up Helvellyn in early April 2018. As per a previous review, the inclinometer folding flap did seem pretty flimsy, and broke the first time the flap was closed. This may have been because the hinge was a bit stiff due to the very cold weather (but it should work in any temperature, right?), which meant the metal broke just above the hinge when we tried to fold the flap down. However, we must give full kudos to the seller, who replied almost immediately when I emailed them on our return, and dispatched a replacement which I received within a couple of days, with no questions asked other than to send a photo of the damage. Apart from that, all other functions and parts of the compass work well, and the replacement is fully functional, with no hinge problems. Maybe we were just unlucky with the first one, hence my 4 stars.

This is a really great compass. when you open it it lays on surfaces perfectly, it doesn't wobble, the lid is level with the base. It is a really heavy compass, and the inclination indicator is accurate as well. The adjustable ring is much more sturdy than cheaper compasses have, and the thumb ring is easy to adjust and it is not in the way at all during measurements on the map. The pouch it came in closes with a velcro which I personally prefer, but the pouch needed fixing a bit as on the side the edge was longer then the bottom of the pouch and the tread was loose. The user's manual is interesting as this compass came with two. One said "contents" and it listed many languages but English. The other user's manual was English though. However with the part list I had issues a bit. There is a big list in the English version of the parts but on the picture of the compass nothing is numbered so you have to guess, or you just use the German part of the user's manual, as on that the list is there (in german) and it is connected to the parts of the compass. I found this interesting, but overall it is not hard to figure out what is what on the compass and for the money it came for it is brilliant. Made out of metal, easy to use and it is really sturdy. I have seen simplier less sturdy compasses for double the price than this. I can only recommend this compass.

I own a couple other similar compasses, but this one is superior in construction. It's more accurate and better made, and I've ordered another one as a backup. It's good value for the money.The clinometer is interesting, but I have no use for it. Fortunately it is easy to remove, and the parts (the dial and two screws) can be saved in case I find a use later. Which I've done.

Good sturdy build but the clinometer broke as soon as I opened it, and that part is very flimsy and weak ... sad because the rest is perfectI've a picture but won't let me share

Nice and versatile compass I hope I’m not going use it. (bought for emergency)

This was bought as a gift and was nicely presented and was in excellent condition. It was well received and they loved it.
