Title: Excellent lighweight compass
Product review: I like mirror compasses not only because they make it easy to plot a line, but because the mirror can be used for several other things such as shaving and attracting attention (a rough-and-ready heliograph). This is a nice, solid little compass that lacks only the ability to mark the magnetic off-set. It weighs almost nothing and that's a good thing for hiking! As it's plastic it won't last thirty years like the old-fashioned metal ones, but then again it is cheap and easy to replace and the lightness makes it indispensible for navigation, especially through heavily wooded territory where cheaper GPS units have problems.
