Lifetime warranty
This classic, analog compass provides all the information that got explorers around perfectly well for hundreds of years, in a snappy, optic green package. It features 2-degree graduations (the series of degree markings on the azimuth ring used for taking bearings) and adjustable declination (the difference in degrees between magnetic north--the direction the magnetic needle on a compass points--and true or geographical north, which is the direction maps are printed toward. It also features 0-35 degree inclination scale (the distance between two points on a map as they relate to the distance between those two points on the earth) and displays this in both inches and millimeters.

Brunton Classic Compass Reviews
Great Value. I got these for my 11 Year old Scouts. A rock solid beginner compass. But for beginning Boy Scouts. They eat up this compass. It's perfect for what we're doing, beginning orienteering. If you need something more advanced this may not be the stable platform for you.
Happy with purchase. Basic compass but has all the markings needed. Works as promised.
For a little more money you can get a nice "Lensatic" military compass with a sighting-arm. It's small size and price (under $10). It has a tool free adjustable declination for easy navigating and gives you graduations in degrees.
Unfortunately, there is no site-mirror, which makes for a more accurate reading. makes for a simple, efficient compass when backpacking or hiking. This `easy-to-read' compass is perfect for map and compass orienteering.
It's a good beginner compass, but remember that you get what you pay for. The scale is in both inches and millimeters and the clear plastic makes for easy use on any map.
In short, I am very pleased with this unit, and will recommend it to my students in the upcoming compass orienting and map reading class I am about to teach next month. The size is just about right for either a shirt breast pocket or to be carried in the hand in the field.
It delivers everything that you'd expect from a maptop compass. This one works well for the right price.
plastic base, bearings marked around the housing, easily rotating needle color coded for north and south, it even has a place for a lanyard or string to be attached. The Brunton Classic Compass is a good choice for the price.
Thank you Amazon. The adjustment for declination and graduated measurements along the edge make it a most versitle tool.
You could do a lot worse by buying a cheaply made compass.
It's cheap enough so that if I lose it, I can buy another one, and it's more than accurate enough for my needs. This an excellent, inexpensive compass which I use in the car for navigating. The needle is quite responsive, and you don't have to jiggle the case to get it to move as in many cheap compasses. I like the green baseplate, which allows me to find it in low light if I drop it. I understand that one needs a sighting mirror for serious work, but I just use it in the car. It has good visibility, is lightweight, accurate, and best of all, doesn't cost that much. All in all a good, decent quality, inexpensive compass.
