Marbles Compass with Stainless Case and Attachment Clip

The Marbles Compass with Clip is 4 inches overall in a stainless case with an attachment clip.

A clip rather than a pin or a lanyard means the compass fastens to a pack strap, a pocket edge or a map case and comes off again without unthreading anything. That keeps it accessible, and a compass that is easy to check is one that gets checked often enough to stay on a bearing.

A stainless case protects the capsule from the knocks that crack a plastic housing, which is the usual way a field compass dies. At 4 inches overall this is a substantial instrument rather than a button compass, so the dial is large enough to read a bearing from rather than only a direction. Explore more navigation compasses.
