Great compass

I'm doing a navigation qualification and this was the brand and model recommended by the instructor. It's a great compass and I especially value the romer for different map scales (i.e 1:25K & 1:50K are both on the base plate). The lanyard also has lots of different scales and is a nice touch. Finally, the lines on the compass face are really helpful when finding your bearings (not all compasses have that). All in, I am very happy with my purchase.

Silva Compass 4 Mils

This is a quality brand compass and there were no issues with the item.The only issue I have is with the delivery as it was left in the 'STREET'!The Amazon delivery instructions as to the safe location where to leave it were crystal clear but still it was left in the Street at the front gate.Anyone could have just walked off with it.At least they would be able to navigate their way!!!

Excellent specilist compass

This is a specialist piece of kit with the main reading in Mils that would be unsuitable for teaching beginners to navigate with and is not really necessary for the average hill walker for whom degrees are entirely adequate. It's called "Militaire" for a very good reason!Having taught my son to navigate in degrees using a conventional compass I bought him this one as he plans to join the Army and will need to be familiar with navigating in mils. Like any Silva Compass it is excellent with all the necessary scales etc plus a good long edge for setting course between two points. Although the main (outer) reading is in Mils there is also an inner graticule in degrees. My son has quickly adopted to it and I quite like using it too.It's well made, robust and easy to use with gloves on. In the right hands very accurate navigation is possible but of course in that respect its only as good as the person holding it!

Good compass wrong measurement system for me

I bought this compass pre covid with a view to getting out and exploring more.No sooner had I bought the compass and then covid hit and I put the compass away I a drawer and forgot about it until now.Now it states clearly that its main measure is in mild rather than degrees but as a novice I did nt understand the significance.By all means go ahead and buy it if it is a mils compass reading you want but just be aware the degrees is very hard to read and I would advise a degrees measured compass.I am disappointed in the compass f or that reason alone but otherwise it is a quality product. Just no use to me I’m afraid so just take care that it’s what you want.

Silva Compass 4 Militaire 6400/360

What can I say. Another fantastic compass from Silva. The long base plate is just the right lenght for lining thought on a map. The facility of both Mils and degrees gives me other uses but at the same time allows me to teach my partner and step daughter more about navigation and takes me back to my forces days.Easy to use, good romers of differant scales clearly marked and even a differant coloured lanyard so It can easly be identified from my degress compasses at a glance. The ilumination on the base plate and needle work well in the dark. Only slight draw back and I mean slight is the degrees are a little hard to read.

Very poor quality product from Silva

I've used Silva compasses for over 30 years and in the past they have always been the best on the market, So the other day I thought I would treat myself to a new one and thought the latest Expedition compass would best serve my needs, I ordered it from Amazon as they are one of the few places you can buy this compass in the UK, it duly arrived and I was very disappointed to find the orange plastic bezel had a crack in it (see attached picture) this meant the declination adjustment no longer works properly, so I returned this to get a replacement which arrived only for me to find this had two cracks in the bezel (see attached picture) I'm now returning this for a refund as I have no faith in quality of this product and even if I did receive an unbroken version what's the likely hood of it failing in use.Other minor issues I spotted with this compass were: in the product photo the bezel is a nice bright orange/yellow colour but in reality it is a dark orange, the markings around the bezel aren't as clear and crisp as in the product photo and some of the glow in the dark markings aren't centred correctly.All in all a pretty poor show from Silva, and goes to show what can happen when companies move their production to the far east and don't carefully monitor the quality of their products.
