This review is from: Silva Polaris Type 7 Compass (Sports)

Seems to be a great, probably entry level compass. I bought it as a backup compass to take hunting, and it will do the job nicely, at a good price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Compass - Great For Everyday Or Emergency Use, July 2, 2010

I haven't owned a compass in years, so while I was impressed with the selection of compasses available today, I was also a bit overwhelmed by the different models and features. I soon found the perfect compass for me, which was the Silva Polaris 177. While it's very inexpensive, it offers a range of features and is built with quality materials. It has worked great for me, as I have relearned how to read terrain maps and navigate via orienteering. If you are looking for a quality compass that will not let you down, this Silva Compass is a great choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Economic Compass, February 19, 2010

This little compass really has everything a beginner to intermediate user needs. My oldest one has held up well for 6 years of use and is small, lightweight, and easy to use.

I would like if it also included a magnifier for emergency fire-starting, but this is not a deal-breaker for me. I have four of these little guys in various kits, and they have all worked well for me.

I give this compass a 4 star rating for overall functionality and value. I would rate it 5 stars if it had a Magnifier.
