The compass feels solid, allows for clear reading, and is resistant to harsh conditions, while the metal housing ensures durability. It is a bit heavy, but it gives hope for long-term use. In my opinion, it is worth recommending. Pros: build quality, case, and lanyard included. I haven't noticed any cons so far.
The Military Prismatic Compass is a highly accurate navigation instrument built to meet military standards. Its robust aluminum construction provides durability and resists harsh terrains. The floating dial allows for precision measurements even while moving, such as during walking or running.
With its combination of directional and map compass capabilities, this tool is perfect for travelers and survival aficionados. It features a special sighting notch and front sight for precise direction finding, and a side scale on the folding casing for exact map readings. The aluminum housing protects the glass when closed yet permits quick directional checks.
Enhanced accuracy is achieved with the integrated bubble level, and a threaded mount lets you attach the compass to a tripod. A practical loop facilitates attachment to a lanyard for easy carrying and quick access on hikes. Additionally, the set includes a protective case for belt attachment, offering stability and protection.

The compass also proved useful during my astronomical observations. On the trail, it was reliable and worked as an alternative to GPS during a one-day trip. I recommend this product.

The compass is solid and accurate. I definitely recommend it.

The compass is sturdy and of good quality. The case is mainly useful for attaching it to a backpack or protecting it from water and dirt, but its inside tears easily. The lanyard attachment on the back of the compass broke after a few uses. That's why I give it a rating of 4 stars.

A very durable, readable, and resistant to harsh conditions compass with a steel housing. It's a bit heavy, but because of that, I'm confident it will last for many years. I have been using it for a year in various weather conditions and it still looks like new. In my opinion, it's a perfect choice – I recommend it!
