Silva 5-6400/360 Compass

The Expedition and Expedition Global are for professional and experienced users. They are highly accurate and precise whilst being incredibly durable.

The global variants needle makes the compass effective all around the world should your operational requirements, or adventures span both hemispheres.

The slope card is great both for understanding avalanche risk and for determining how challenging your journey will be. By knowing the inclination of a slope, you can also judge any extra distance that you need to travel due to the slope.

The distance lanyard has two scales; 1:25, and 1:50, which facilitates measuring distance. Since it is soft and bendable, it’s easy to place it directly on to your route on the map.

Expedition and Expedition Global feature a DryFlex™ grip for easy handling, a clinometer for measuring slope angle and comes with a built-in adjuster for magnetic declination. It also features map-measuring in mm, inches, scales of 1:25k, 1:40k 1:50k and GPS scales.

The baseplate is curved-up at the back-end for the perfect fit in hand, magnifying lens and rubber friction feet for precision map work. The distinct arrow and scales/markings in a clear contemporary font combined with lots of transparency in the baseplate make navigating easier – when activated in light the luminous markings and graduation ring enable night time navigation.

The red/black north-south lines in the capsule bottom ensure easy and safe settling. The needle is crafted from the finest quality magnetic Swedish steel.
