I am a dayhiker and purchased the Suunto MC-2G compass a few months ago and have been very pleased with its performance. The quality is obvious and it is everything that I expected a top-shelf compass should be. Whenever we are out in the wilderness it is important that we have gear that we can trust and I trust this compass to point me in the right direction! It's not enough just to throw a compass in your pack...make sure you know how to use it!
