I've been using Silva compasses for many years, mainly the simple Field model and I was always satisfied. It offers everything needed without unnecessary extras. I bought the current model for the mirror, which, although not essential, makes use easier and adds extra functionality. I definitely recommend the product and the Militaria.pl shop.
Silva Ranger S compass with mirror
The Silva Ranger S model is a reliable baseplate compass that performs well during both daytime and nighttime hikes – thanks to fluorescent markings that ensure visibility in all conditions. The "box-type" design is complemented by a foldable mirror for precise azimuth determination.
Rotating limbus covered with DryFlex rubber, navigation in Silva 1-2-3 system
Equipped with a rotating bezel with degree markings, the compass supports navigation using the intuitive Silva 1-2-3 system. The outer layer of the bezel is made of DryFlex rubber, providing a secure grip and comfort in any weather.
two scales for reading distances from the map, correction for declination
The transparent baseplate features two map scales and a 40 mm ruler, allowing for quick distance calculations on the map. An integrated declination scale improves reading accuracy in varied terrain.
The set includes a lanyard with a safety system – a special clasp automatically disconnects under excessive tension, increasing safety during outdoor activities.

The compass is very comfortable to use. The mirror makes operation much easier and can also be useful for other purposes. The dial is easy to read, and the cap on the cord holds well, which reduces the risk of losing or dropping the compass.
-
I think this is the best compass, or rather, orienteering compass available in this price range for its quality. It works very well and has a clearly marked azimuth ring.
-
This is one of the best compasses, however the new version 37467 does not have a black-and-white scale on the lanyard. The advantages include a perfect size, comfortable shape without protruding parts, and a mirror. I recommend it.
-
Great compass for trips and hikes. Very precise. I recommend it!
-
I've been using it for about two years. The only thing that bothers me is the not very sturdy lanyard clip, as it sometimes unfastens. Other than that, it's a very decent compass.
-
The compass is very well made and you won't have problems with orientation, but the lanyard doesn't suit me entirely, although it can be tolerated. It's just a shame there is no magnifier.
-
Very good, precise, and handy compass.
-
It works well both in the field and when working with a map. The cord with a scale is very useful. After a few years, the inscriptions start to wear off slightly.
-
A very good compass for mountain trips. It's just a pity that it doesn't have an integrated magnifier. I definitely recommend it.
