Silva Expedition Global Compass 


If you are in need of a compass with high-end features to use anywhere in the world, the Expedition Global should be your choice.

The compass comes with a slope card and a distance lanyard. The slope card is great both for detecting avalanche risk and for determining how challenging your journey will be. By knowing the slope you can also judge any extra distance that you need to go due to the slope. The distance lanyard has two scales on it; 1:25, and 1:50, which facilitates to measure the distance of your hike. Since its soft and bendable it's easy to place it directly on to your route on the map.

Expedition Global features DryFlex™ grip for easy handling, a clinometer for measuring slope angle and comes with a built-in adjuster for magnetic declination. It also features map-measuring in mm, inches, scales of 1:25k, 1:40k 1:50k and GPS scales. The baseplate has a curved-up at the back-end for perfect fit in the hand, magnifying lens and rubber friction feet for precision map work. The distinct arrow and scales/markings in a clear contemporary font combined with lots of transparency in the baseplate makes navigating easier - when activated in light the luminous markings and graduation ring enable night time navigation. The red/black northsouth lines in the capsule bottom ensures easy and safe settling. The needle is made from finest Swedish steel with high quality magnetic features.

It has been 85 years since three entrepreneurial brothers came up with one great invention and the story of Silva® as a brand and company began. In 1933, Björn, Alvar and Arvid Kjellström invented the first-ever liquid-filled compass that was not only the first compass of its kind but also the global standard for how navigation works. A few years later, in 1935, they expanded their business to the new invention, and the first headlamp, Zeiler. Since then Silva has continued to evolve and set trends for outdoor equipment. Today, the company focuses on three main user areas: sport, adventure and work. Each one of these areas is constantly evaluated and updated, for you to enjoy high-quality products and always feel prepared and ready with Silva.

The red / black North / South lines in the capsule bottom ensures easy and safe settling. The needle is made from finest Swedish steel with high quality magnetic features.
