This is a great replacement for the standard strings that come with some compasses. The cord can be tied to your compass and attached to your clothing, or bag via a clip or knot. The beads are metal sprung toggles, so recommended to keep these away from the compass end.

Please note, compass is not included…If you don’t know what pacing beads are used for, maybe think about a hill skills course!

We prefer the blanket over the bag because it’s easier to put a casualty into a blanket but these have the same effect once you are wrapped up

These bottles are a real weight saver. If you’ve planned your route you can factor in water stops easily enough. We’ve been using them on expeditions for years with no problems.

Perfect for lightweight travel.

The SILVA Expedition Series is for experienced users and professionals. The Expedition series has been a global leader when it comes to accuracy, precision and durability for many years. The SILVA Expedition Series comes with two completely new features: a Slope card and a Scale lanyard.

The Spike Jet Zoom has unmatched needle speed and settling time and also features a large magnifying lens for more detailed map reading. The rotatable housing has 360° graduation markings, extended orienteering lines and a grip friendly surface. Furthermore the baseplate features a detachable scale slider at the tip making it our most comprehensive orienteering baseplate compass.

By changing the scales to fit your current needs you can more easily plan your race. You can even detach the scale slider entirely in order to achieve additional transparency for quicker map reading. With the Spike Jet Zoom, you get 3 separate scale sliders, that can also be flipped, giving you a total of 6 different scales to choose from – 1:40 k, 1:7.5 k, 1:10 k, 1:15 k, 1:3 k, 1:4 k. The stencil holes for start and control markings are great when you want to create your own orienteering race.

What stands out in the Spike Jet Zoom in comparison to its siblings Spike Jet and Spike Jet Classic is the built-in magnifying lens. It provides more flexibility and enables detailed map reading at a glance – perfect when every second matters.
