"Silva Expedition 4 Compass" Posted by Mark Kempster on 30/10/2009 15:27:12 Rated:

"Silva make some of the best compasses in the world and have a large range of quality products. If you are looking for a compass that will enable you to quickly and easily set your map, accurately calculate a bearing to walk on, and use the compass to follow that bearing as primary functions then the Silva Expedition 4 is one of the best compasses in the market to do this with. The Silva Expedition 4 Compass is known as a "base plate" compass which has, in addition to the main functions of a compass, a magnifier, inch and millimetre scales and a romer that works for 1:25k, 1:50k and 1:63,360 scales. it is light weight and of a size that will easily fit into a small pocket about your person or in your rucksack. I would recommend fitting a cord to the compass through the hole provided. I personally have a whistle on this cord and my cord is made from a spare boot lace - just in case. I have used this compass for many years and have never experienced any problems. A compass is an essential bit of kit for any walker or mountaineer and in particular the Silva Expedition 4 can be thoroughly recommended. To use a compass successfully you need to have a certain amount of knowledge and practice. I would therefore recommend that before you take this compass out and rely on it for navigation you fully understand how to use it." Would you recommend this product: Yes
