A conventional mirror sighting compass that is frequently used by compass enthusiasts including hikers, mountaineers, backpackers, and hunters. When you need to detect direction over great distances, a mirror sighting compass is the best option. You can check your direction by glancing at the bezel in the mirror while seeing in the right direction of travel with the mirror slanted at a 45-degree angle. The Silva 1-2-3 System®'s direction determination becomes more precise because you don't have to take your eyes off the compass to look at the terrain. The guide has a DryFlexTM grip for simple handling and a declination scale that can be used anywhere inside the capsule. The base plate provides map measurements in inches and sizes of 1:24k USGS scale and 1:62.5k mile.
