Boy Scout Compass Hiking Backpack - Orienteering Compass Kids Camping Kit - Kids Compass Navigation Map Reading - Survival Compass - Waterproof Hiking Compass Lightweight - Camping Compass

With the uptick in walking and hiking I thought this would be the perfect time to teach the boys some orienteering. They are young so I didn't want to get them anything expensive, they are also super prone to dropping things. So far these have been great. They stand up to all the usual things you do with a compass like throwing them at rocks, swinging them above your head while riding a bike, and spinning around circles trying to see if you are faster than the needle. The needle is a little slow but works just fine. The measurements are easy to read and the plastic is crystal clear. I bought two and quality is equally good on both. All in all a basic but solid purchase.

Good compass, cheap and reliable. I bought them for my kids to race in orienteering. My only complain is the clip used to attach the compass to th string, it is not strong enough, and makes it very easy to lose the compass (my son lost his during his second race). Solution is super easy, just attach the compass directly to the string, and get rid of the clip.

It works and is useful with a topographical map.

The compass is compact, legible and a value item and pocket friendly! Iif you need a little directional assistance, this is it!

It is my extra, it sits in my backpack waiting for the GPS to fail while I simultaneously get lost, but stuff happens and that is why we prepare. It works well and is great for orienteering, the clear plastic definitely helps when on the map terrain is still clear and legible. I highly recommend this compass to anyone looking for a light, reliable, easy to pack, no frills and easy to use compass.
