Everyone needs a orienteering compass whether or not they have a deck mounted compass. The Silva Field 7 compass is small, inexpensive and holds up well to the abuse a kayaker gives it. We don't think the more expensive orienteering compasses are needed by most kayakers. This compass can stay in your PFD or day hatch and come out when the fog rolls in.

Silva says: Probably the worlds best selling compass model! The small size and the rounded back of the base plate makes this compass an ideal youth/beginners compass for all kind of land navigation. Map measuring scales mm, 1:50k and 1:25k. Declination scale inside the capsule.
