A reliable piece of equipment you can depend on during forest trips. The aluminum housing is a big plus – you can immediately feel it's a solid tool and not a plastic toy, so it will easily withstand hitting a rock. The dial is clear, the needle sets instantly, and the gray color looks modern and is less conspicuous than the typical olive. For using a map outdoors, you don't need anything more.
The Ranger MK2 from Helikon-Tex is a precise and sturdy prismatic (bearing) compass. It enables the determination of marching direction even under the most challenging conditions. This compass is invaluable when modern navigation technologies fall short.
Featuring a phosphorescent dial that simplifies night navigation, the compass also has map scales on the sides at 1:25,000 and 1:50,000, all housed within a lightweight and durable plastic casing.
Main features:
- prismatic (bearing) compass,
- lightweight and robust plastic case,
- phosphorescent dial,
- 1:25000 and 1:50000 map scales.
