Silva Guide US Liquid-Filled Compass w/Scale Lanyard & Mirror Sighting System

Silva Guide US liquid-filled compass — with scale, lanyard, and mirror sighting system. For precise bearing and navigation in the field.

The Silva Guide US is a liquid-filled compass with a mirror sighting system for precise bearing taking in the field. The mirror lid allows you to sight a landmark and read the bearing simultaneously — significantly more accurate than a standard baseplate compass for long-distance navigation. Includes scale for map work and lanyard for secure carry.

Key specs:

• SKU: SIL012
• Type: Mirror sighting compass
• Fill: Liquid-filled (dampened needle)
• Features: Mirror sighting system, scale, lanyard
• Market: US declination

Why it works:

Mirror sighting compasses are the standard for serious backcountry navigation — the mirror allows you to sight a distant landmark precisely while reading the bearing, eliminating the parallax error that occurs when you look down at a baseplate compass. The Guide US is calibrated for US declination zones, making it the right choice for North American use.

Ideal for: Hikers, backpackers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts who need precise navigation in the backcountry. See also the Ranger 2.0 (SIL035) and Ranger Global (SIL020) for additional mirror compass options.
