Suunto A-10 SH Compass

Minimalistic Baseplate Compass For Hikers And Scouts

Fast, simple and accurate, A-10 baseplate compasses are quick to learn and ideal for navigating with a map and compass. For calculating the distances, A-10 has both metric and empirical scales printed in red to stand out on topographic map.

The Earth’s magnetic field does not flow evenly between the magnetic poles along the surface of the planet. To overcome this, A-10 has two variants with needles balanced for either the northern or southern hemisphere.

Stable Operation
The compass liquid used by Suunto is specially formulated to provide damping over a large temperature range while preventing the needle from sticking.

Detachable Snap-Lock Lanyard
The lanyard with wristlock is easy to detach for working with a map.

Made In Finland
All Suunto compasses are handcrafted at a factory with 100% renewable energy.
