It would be fine if it weren’t for the fact that the plastic cracks at the attachment point just from normal carrying. It’s simply poor material quality — this is already my second compass like this, and in both cases it ended the same way: after a few months, the plastic cracks, you can’t attach a carabiner, and the whole point of a pocket compass is lost.

A useful addition to a backpack, the temperature is not very accurate but rather correct. The compass worked fine. The price seems a bit high to me. I haven't tested the carabiner, so I can't comment on it.
-
A very handy compass with a thermometer in one, solid, fits well in the hand. The carabiner is strong :) I recommend it as a small gadget for your backpack.
-
Compass and thermometer work correctly. Perfect as an extra or spare compass for short trips.
-
The Silva Pocket compass is an excellent, compact keyring with a thermometer – easy to use and always at hand. Great for GPS navigation and emergency situations. Comes with a carabiner for attaching to your backpack!
-
The compass works quite well, and the thermometer measures slowly – which is understandable. The problem is when the thermometer falls out. The carabiner broke after one day. Not worth the price.
-
I carry the compass attached to my backpack, it's very light and doesn't swing about. It finds the direction quickly. Checking the temperature has already become my habit at every stop, it's a very practical feature.
-
Very light and well-made compass. It points direction precisely, and the thermometer has a 5-degree scale but shows the correct temperature. The carabiner is small but surprisingly sturdy for its size.
-
Great keyring, serves its purpose well. Good to have it on your backpack, even if you don't use it often, it's nice to check the temperature sometimes.
-
It fulfils its function as a compass, indicates north well, and also works as a thermometer. The ring bends easily, so it's better to attach it to a carabiner straight away to avoid losing it.
-
Shows directions and temperature well. As a backup gadget for the backpack, it works well.
-
Well-made, practical as a spare compass. Great gadget.
-
Useful keyring to attach to a backpack.
-
A nice and useful gadget for a backpack.
