I have been using Silva brand compasses for many years, mainly the simple Field model and I have always been satisfied. It offers everything necessary without unnecessary extras. I bought the current model for the mirror, which, though not essential, makes use easier and gives additional functionality. I definitely recommend the product and the store Militaria.pl.

The compass is very convenient to use. The mirror makes operation much easier and may also be useful for other applications. The dial is easy to read, and the cap on the lanyard holds well, which reduces the risk of losing or dropping the compass.
-
I believe this is the best compass, or rather a prismatic compass, available for the price in terms of quality. It works very well and has a clear limb.
-
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 are the perfect size, convenient shape with no protruding parts, and the mirror. I recommend it.
-
Great compass for trips and excursions. Very precise. I recommend it!
-
I have used it for about two years. The only thing that bothers me is the not-so-sturdy clip for the lanyard, as it sometimes comes off. Apart from that, it is a very solid compass.
-
The compass is very well made and there will be no problem with orientation, but the pendant does not suit me completely, although it's bearable. It's a pity there is no magnifier.
-
Very good, precise, and handy compass.
-
It works well both in the field and when working with a map. The lanyard with scale is very useful. After a few years, the markings start to rub off slightly.
-
Very good compass for mountain trips. It's just a pity it doesn't have an integrated magnifier. I definitely recommend it.
