SUUNTO MCB: Simple sighting mirror compass that floats

My husband got this compass and is really pleased with it. He says he likes the capability of the sighting and the mirror.

I wish it at least came in packaging that could protect it a little in my pocket or bag, since it is definitely not sturdily built. The hinge should not be expected to handle a lot of use, and the little clip-on whistle that also attaches the cord to the compass snapped the first time I used it. Normally, I'd give something far fewer stars, with problems like those, but it is shockingly difficult to find an accurate compass in this price range. I recommend making a case or pouch that can be attached to a cord.

Alright but for a suunto the plastic hinge is questionable. Not sure how long this will last with use. Was dissapointed that it did not have a standard metal hinge.

Excellent compass

This compass is a bargain! It's a great size, and lightweight. It's both precise and accurate. I appreciate that it floats. The mirror is clear and can be used for signaling. For ~$20, you can't go wrong. Do not be put off by some of the negative reviews. I hesitated buying this one, but trusted my gut knowing this is from Suunto. I do not think it's fragile as some reviews have suggested. It'll hold up just fine being shoved in a pack, or taking falls on a trail. Though I'm sure if you smash it with some rocks you can break it. The mirror is also not cloudy as some have reported; you need to remove the film protecting it. If you want other features, or "higher quality" materials (which will weigh more too), then you're looking at something in a higher price point.

Suunto quality in a smaller size

This plastic compass looks and feels like it should sell for $3 instead of $30. The hinge is just a bendable plastic, probably would break over time. It does seem stable, however, and for that reason alone, I gave the compass a four star rating.

Great product, as usual.

Esta es una de las mejores brújulas en el mercado y hasta ahora a buen precio en Amazon. Estas brújulas son de los productos que se agotan prontamente en tiendas departamentales de Suunto. Se pueden hacer buenas lecturas con esta brújula, a pesar del precio... es una de las mejores brújulas en el mercado.

La brujula será buena pero no vale lo que cuesta. La carcasa de plástico y la visagra del mismo plástico plegado... Parece un juguete. Devuelta.

災害対策用のEDCポーチに入れて持ち歩くために、壊れないように蓋が閉まるオリエンテーリングコンパスが欲しくて購入しました。軽量で目的は果たせました。

Excellent

Good product but DON'T BUY IF YOU ARE IN AUSTRALIA. The product is made for the northern hemisphere only. so why is it for sale on Amazon AUS???
