Suunto MC-2 NH Compass
I like the Suunto MC-2 sighting compass for many reasons. I considered the Global version but decided on the NH Northern Hemisphere Suunto made in Finland to a very high degree of quality and excellence. I’m partial to a liquid filled capsule for stable operation and jewel bearing needle. I wanted a compass with luminescent markings so I can find my way when darkness sets in during our short Winter days. Metric scale and imperial scale baseplate with magnifying lens. Bonus adjustable declination comes with mini screwdriver tool to adjust on the lanyard. The lanyard detaches and reattaches quickly when using it on the map. It’s water resistant and insensitive to atmospheric water pressure. It has a clinometer 0+_90° angle slope and on the case scale you can use on a topographical map which correlates to elevations. Operating temperature -30°C to +60°C all within 2° degrees of accuracy. Bonus to have a signaling mirror that allows sighting with notch and hole. The guide that is included in the box is very informative. When your out there it’s nice to know there’s a little something to guide you on the right direction. Stay safe and don’t dismiss the things that will get you back home safely.
