Lensatic Hiking Compass — Pocket-Sized Survival Navigation Tool
Product description
Precision navigation: This lensatic-style compass gives clear directional readings suitable for camping, hiking, mountaineering, fishing, and general outdoor use. The sighting prism and readable degree scale help you take accurate bearings, while a built-in bubble assists in keeping the instrument level for dependable results.
Robust construction: Housed in a heavy-duty metal case with a water-resistant finish, the unit is designed to resist bumps and wet conditions encountered in the field. The dial is balanced to respond reliably and the casing provides a solid, rugged feel that holds up to regular use.
Enhanced sighting and scale: The compass includes a prism/sighting lens that aids in precise aiming at distant landmarks and clear, marked scales for easy interpretation. The center bubble or level supports steady readings, reducing parallax errors when taking a heading.
Low-light visibility: Markings and pointers feature fluorescent paint so the dial stays visible after exposure to light, helping you read bearings in dim conditions or at night without additional illumination.
Carry options and portability: The unit is pocket-sized and lightweight for comfortable carry. It ships with a protective pouch and lanyard so you can stow it in a pocket, clip it to a belt, or wear it around the neck for quick access on the trail.
What you get: One lensatic compass with prism sight, integrated bubble level, luminous markings, a protective metal housing, plus a compact carrying pouch and lanyard for transport and storage.

Compact and practical for outings
My son and I fish often and replaced an old lost compass with this one. It’s compact, fits comfortably in hand, and the pouch is pocketable or belt-wearable. Lightweight and well made.

Great build and kid-friendly
Bought three for the family. Each one finds north after settling and the center bubble helps level it. Extremely solid construction for the price and kids enjoyed using them at the park.
