For explorers and search-and-rescue professionals, Silva’s Expedition series has been the longtime global leader in compass accuracy, precision and durability. Now two unique models represent the next step in advanced outdoor navigation—the Expedition base-plate compass and the Expedition S mirror-sighting compass.

The Silva Field Series comprises two entry-level compasses designed to meet the educational demands of schools, youth groups and leisure outdoor navigators.

Have you ever walked out of a subway station in the steel-and-glass canyon of a new city, map in hand, and wondered which way to go? That won’t happen when you’re carrying Silva’s new Metro compass.

The series most popular among mountaineers, backpackers and hunters has expanded. The Silva Ranger traditional base-plate compass is joined by two mirror-sighting models—Silva Ranger S and Silva Ranger SL. While all three feature a detachable safety-release lanyard and luminous markings for night navigation, each also bears something unique.
