Expedition S Compass – Silva®

The Silva^® Expedition S Compass sets the benchmark for precision navigation. This updated version features clearer graphics, improved legibility, and a more prominent sighting arrow – all designed to support accurate orientation in demanding environments. The set also includes a measuring card and a lanyard with integrated scales for efficient map work.

Engineered for Demanding Use

Ideal for professionals, rescue teams, and outdoor explorers, this advanced expedition compass is compatible with nearly all map types. It includes scales in millimeters and inches and supports map scales of 1:25,000, 1:50,000, and even 1:40,000. A built-in GPS scale adds another layer of functionality.

Reliable Day or Night

Equipped with luminescent markers, the compass offers excellent visibility in low-light or night conditions. The DryFlex™ control wheel provides a secure grip, even when wearing gloves. A built-in magnifier helps with precise map reading, while the clinometer allows you to measure vertical angles — ideal for avalanche risk assessment or slope evaluation.

Precision Navigation Tools

The sighting mirror and optical viewfinder allow for highly accurate azimuth readings in the field. The compass also includes magnetic declination adjustment (including fixed local declination) for greater precision in global navigation.

Smart Design for Field Use

Rubberized feet on the baseplate enhance stability when working on a map, and the detachable neck lanyard features printed scales in 1:25,000 and 1:50,000. Soft and flexible, the lanyard can be placed directly on the map for measuring distances. The included reference card helps assess avalanche danger and route difficulty.
