Silva Expedition S Compass

The Expedition S compass is a top choice for anyone seeking a feature-rich, purpose-built navigation tool. Designed for advanced users, it’s ideal for both outdoor adventurers and professionals who rely on precision in the field.

The Silva Expedition S includes a range of practical features to support accurate navigation. An easy-grip ring and rubberized base ensure steady handling and reliable contact with your map. It comes with a detachable neck strap featuring a safety release, along with a built-in slope card for assessing terrain steepness. Luminescent markings allow for nighttime use, while integrated magnifiers and map scales in both millimeters and inches provide added clarity. The baseplate includes ROMER scales for measuring distances at 1:25,000 and 1:50,000, and a built-in declination adjustment allows for compensation of magnetic variation.

The integrated mirror makes this an excellent choice for long-distance navigation. By allowing you to view the needle while sighting a distant landmark, it enables more precise bearings without needing to look away from your direction of travel. This is especially useful in open terrain where accuracy over distance is critical.

The included slope card helps you evaluate terrain difficulty and identify potential avalanche risks. Slopes exceeding 30 degrees can present increased danger, and this feature makes it easier to assess conditions before proceeding. It also helps estimate how terrain steepness may impact travel time.

A detachable neck strap with printed scales doubles as a convenient measuring tool. With 1:25 and 1:50 scales, it allows you to quickly calculate distances directly on your map. Soft and flexible, it’s easy to use for both trip planning and on-the-go navigation.
