SUUNTO A-10 Compass for Hikers and Scouts

The Suunto A-10 is a robust, easy-to-use compact compass ideal for general recreational navigation, hikers, and scouts. Built on a minimalistic baseplate design, it balances fast, simple, and accurate map reading with convenience features like imperial (inches, miles) and metric (centimeters, kilometers) scales.

Main Features

• Balanced for the Northern Hemisphere: The Earth’s magnetic field varies around the globe, so this compass is optimized to reduce needle tilt and ensure stable navigation.
• Stable Operation: The specialized liquid filling provides consistent damping of the high-grade steel needle over a wide temperature range (prevents sticking).
• Detachable Snap-Lock Lanyard: Easily remove it when working with a map; includes a wristlock for secure carrying.
• Fixed Declination Correction Scale: Helps adjust for the difference between magnetic north and true north (important for accurate navigation).
• Imperial & Metric Scales: Clear red markings stand out on topographic maps for measuring distances quickly and accurately.
• Made in Finland: Each compass is handcrafted with 100% renewable energy, reflecting Suunto’s commitment to quality and sustainability.
• Suunto Limited Lifetime Warranty
