Details
If you are looking for a compass for nighttime adventures or snowshoe hiking, the Silva Explorer Pro is just the compass you need! This compass comes with a slope card and a distance lanyard. The slope card is great for detecting avalanche risk when you're exploring the great outdoors in the winter. By knowing the slope, you can also judge any extra distance that you need to go due to the slope. The distance lanyard has four scales on it; 1:24k, 1:25k, 1:50k, and 1:62.5, which facilitates measuring the distance of your hike. Since it's soft and bendable, it's easy to place it directly on your map route. The Explorer Pro features a DryFlex™ grip for easy handling, a clinometer for measuring slope angle, and a built-in adjuster for magnetic declination. It also features map-measuring in mm, inches, scales of 1:25k, 1:40k, 1:50k, 1:24k USGS scale, and GPS scales. The baseplate has a curved-up at the back-end for the perfect fit in hand, magnifying lens, and rubber friction feet for precision map work. The different arrows and scales/markings in a clear contemporary font combined with lots of transparency in the baseplate make navigating easier. When activated in light, the luminous markings enable nighttime navigation. The red/black AND North/South lines in the capsule bottom ensure easy and safe settling. The needle is made from the finest Swedish steel with high-quality magnetic features.
