Review: Quality and Timing - Arrived in good time and in good quality
Review: Great compass - I'm doing a navigation qualification and this was the brand and model recommended by the instructor. It's a great compass and I especially value the romer for different map scales (i.e 1:25K & 1:50K are both on the base plate). The lanyard also has lots of different scales and is a nice touch. Finally, the lines on the compass face are really helpful when finding your bearings (not all compasses have that). All in, I am very happy with my purchase.

## Features

- Expedition S is a mirror sighting compass with many features. It is high performing when it comes to accuracy, precision and durability and is developed for experienced users and professionals.
- This compass features a mirror that allows you to view the compass dial and the background at the same time. The fact that the compass dial can be seen at the same time the reference point is aligned makes mirror compasses more desirable for taking accurate bearings.
- The Expedition S features a rotatable compass housing with rubber grip bezel for easy handling and comes with a declination scale inside the capsule.
- A base plate map-measuring in mm and scales of 1:50k, 1:25k, 1:24k. Expedition S has the additional benefit of 45-degree angle assistance on the mirror sighting function. When held at a 45-degree angle, the compass mirror displays a cross that aligns with the compass housing visible in the mirror.
- The luminous markings on the Expedition S compass make night navigation possible, allowing you to navigate even in low-light conditions. This compass model is equipped with a detachable scale lanyard that works like a ruler.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First impressions - Silva Expedition
*by J***F on 6 August 2023*

Likes - Romer scales; large baseplate, adjustable declination, good grip on compass housing, good needle dampening; 3x silicone feet on the baseplate to help stop the compass from sliding across a map; baseplate markings are embossed so shouldn't wear out as quickly as on some other compasses Dislikes: - The declination adjustment tool is housed in the lanyard and is accessed by opening the housing. This breaks the lanyard loop. Since the housing is very easy to pull apart, the compass doesn't feel secure on the loop. I'll be using a different lanyard. - Because the degree markings (black) are on a dark orange housing, they're more difficult to read than they should be. A lighter coloured housing would be better. - The cardinals are marked in dark orange and are on an dark orange housing making them (almost) impossible to read.
