Suunto MC-2DLIN Compass

It's good product, very light weight. Overall this is right choice.

I know they have a few other models... but this is the official compass for countless nations militaries, used by even more outdoors professional and veterans... and Suunto's best selling model for unknown number of years. Direct competition for this is the Silva Ranger. In recent years the Canadian Forces have moved from Silva to Suunto, several units within the US military are using the Suunto over the excellent Lensatic Compass (Cammenga), so it shows how well known and received the Suunto is just in North America. I own this model, as well as a Cammenga Lensatic, a Silva Ranger (older model) and a Brunton OSS. My 2 main compasses I use regularly are the Cammenga and Suunto. The Suunto has an ease of use that makes it a pleasure to work with. Comapred to the Cammenga, it does have several advantages, mostly the baseplate and markings on it. The clinometer is also a great feature to have, especially when on hilly/mountainous terrain. In my opinion, and after many years using Silva Rangers, this is by far the perfect compass to use with a topo map. As well, Suunto MC-2 is one of the rare compasses that can readily be used in extreme cold, due to it's liquid formulation that keeps from forming bubbles, which can be a pain during land nav. All in all, you won't regret picking up a Suunto MC-2, and more so now that some of the newer Silva Ranger models have gone down in quality over the older ones. This is honestly worth the money you'll pay for it.

The Suunto MC-2 is easily one of the best compasses I’ve used. It’s built like a serious navigation tool, not a cheap backup piece. Everything about it feels precise and dependable, from the smooth needle movement to the solid construction. The mirror sighting feature is a game changer for accuracy. It lets you line up bearings with real confidence, especially when navigating longer distances. The adjustable declination is another huge plus it makes it easy to dial things in correctly without constantly doing mental math.

Superbe mais je l'ai retourné car mon mari voulait plus un GPS pour la chasse et éviter de trainer boussole et carte.

Es un producto confiable, de buena calidad de materiales

Ordered took a week or so, to come from the States but worth it.Good solid bit of kit,even ordered the case to keep it in.Fits lovely in your pocket.The thing I like is you can set the compass variation and don't unless you go to a dirrent area need to compensate.
