Ranger 2.0 Compass
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Sighting mirror enables precise bearings on distant landmarks
The Silva Ranger 2.0 is a mirror sighting compass built for precise backcountry navigation. The sighting mirror lets you take accurate bearings on distant landmarks while reading the capsule at the same time, and one degree graduations make it the kind of tool experienced navigators trust. Adjustable declination, a built in clinometer for slope and avalanche assessment, a magnifying lens, and luminous markings round out a serious feature set. The clever lanyard incorporates declination and scale tools, and the smooth detangle free baseplate sits comfortably in hand. Rugged construction and Silva heritage make it a navigation instrument built to last for decades.
