Lensatic Military Marching Compass

This is the same type of compass I trained with for orienteering during my high school ROTC days. When I decided I wanted a compass for an upcoming trip, I searched for comparable models at a couple of stores.

I found a number of chintzy plastic models that cost nearly twice as much at the big box store, and I found a nearly identical model for six times as much at the army surplus store.

Even without orienteering experience (I'm having to reteach myself) this is a sturdy, reliable compass that anyone can use.

I needed a good compass FAST for a Scouting project for my son. Searching through all the different ones out there, i came across this one. Two things attracted me to this - fuctional product that demonstrates how a compass works, and the great price. At less than $2.50, tied with all the features, this compass fit the need perfectly! It arrived quickly and enabled me to cover the topic i needed to cover for the Scout meeeting. Kids loved figuring out how it works!!

I find the compass that I purchased to be all that I was promised. It is indeed a precision instument of the highest quality. Yet its rugged enough to be of constant reliability under the most adverse of field conditions.

Ease of use, easy to read and to top it off a very reasonable price.

The compass was not expensive, but it has all of the features of a more expensive GI Lensatic Compass. It's a good buy and doesn't require batteries the way a GPS does.
