Body, Capsule, Sighting Lens and Dial

Zinc-Alloy Body

The housing is made from solid zinc alloy. It gives the compass a metal casing that you can clip to a pack strap or keep in a pocket for trail and map work.

Liquid-Filled Capsule

The needle sits inside a liquid-filled capsule. The liquid damps the needle's movement as you hold the compass level, so you can read the heading once the needle has settled.

IronVane

Optical Sighting Lens

Look through the sighting lens and line the reticle up with a distant landmark. The degree scale can be read in the same view, so you can note a bearing for your route.

Glow Markings

The north arrow and bezel are fluorescent. Expose them to light, from daylight or a flashlight, and the markings glow, which helps when you check a bearing after dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hold the compass level, look through the eyepiece and line the reticle up with your target. Then read the degree scale in the same view and note the heading for your route.

Expose the dial to light. Daylight works, and so does a flashlight. The fluorescent north arrow and bezel then glow, which helps you read a bearing after dark.

The base carries both metric and inch scales. You can lay it on a map and measure distances between points while you plan a route before a trip.

Yes. Lay the base on the map and use the metric or inch scale to measure distance. Use the degree scale and sighting lens to take bearings from landmarks.

The needle sits in a liquid-filled capsule. The liquid damps the needle's movement, so after you hold the compass level, the needle settles and you can read the heading.

Keep phones, knives and other metal gear away from the compass. Magnetic and steel items held close can pull on the needle, so step clear of them before you read a bearing.

The body is solid zinc alloy. When you get home from a trip, check the housing, lens and dial, and store the compass somewhere dry and away from metal gear.

The fluorescent markings are on the north arrow and the bezel. Those are the parts you look at when you check a heading in low light.

A survival compass is a handheld navigation tool used to take a bearing and follow a heading outdoors. The IronVane adds a sighting lens, a degree scale and metric and inch scales for map work.

IronVane: A Survival Compass with Sighting Lens and Glow Dial

The IronVane is a survival compass for hikers, campers and backcountry travelers who navigate by map and bearing. Its body is solid zinc alloy, and the capsule is a liquid filled compass design with a damped needle. It suits day hikes, winter trips and route practice.

A sighting lens lets the user line up a distant landmark and read the degree scale in the same glance. That makes it a compass with sighting lens for route planning. The fluorescent north arrow and bezel make it a glow in the dark compass once charged by light.

  • Solid zinc-alloy housing
  • Optical sighting lens with reticle
  • Fluorescent north arrow and bezel
  • Metric and inch scales on the base

The IronVane survival compass ships with one premium packaging box, which makes it simple to store between trips.
