Why it works:

The TruArc Global Needle's 20-degree tilt tolerance means it works accurately anywhere in the world without the needle drag that affects hemisphere-specific compasses. Tool-free declination adjustment is a practical field advantage — you can correct for local declination without carrying a small tool. The recycled construction doesn't compromise any functional capability, making this the right choice for environmentally conscious navigators who don't want to sacrifice performance.

Ideal for: Hikers, backpackers, scouts, and eco-conscious outdoor enthusiasts who want a full-featured, lightweight baseplate compass made from recycled materials. See also the TruArc 10 (BRU037) for adventure racing and the TruArc 20 (BRU051) for mirror sighting.
