Terra Ranger S Compass

Simple mirror sighting compass featuring sustainable materials

It was Silva who first came up with the design for a mirror sighting compass back in 1939. Compared to your standard baseplate model, the flip-up mirror helps you get a really accurate bearing off a distant object – making it especially good for navigating in open and mountainous terrain. These days Silva do a few different versions of the sighting compass – and this Terra Ranger S is one of the most compact and versatile. Palm-sized and robust, it’s got the classic rotating dial with luminous markings for night nav. It’s great for map work too, with three measuring scales and a rubber grip that stops it sliding around on the map when you’re lining up the dial. Part of Silva’s ‘Terra’ eco-friendly range, the lid and dial are made using recycled polymers and plant fibres.
