Well-made compass at an affordable price. It has most of the scales and markings needed for working on a map. The plastic could be stronger, but it's not meant for driving tent pegs into the ground.

A solid, fast, and cheap compass for working with maps. There's no point overpaying for a Silva – this one is perfectly sufficient. You just have to be careful not to toss it loose with hard items into your backpack, as it can scratch easily like plastic rulers.

A sturdy compass at a favourable price. I think it’s great to start your adventure with navigation other than Google Maps. If you like it, you can consider another model.
