Review: Excellent compass - I have used this for navigation during day and night in the Lake District and New Forest, it is the best compass I have tried. A couple of less obvious points about it: First, the luminosity of the dial, the needle and the direction of travel markers is very very bright, assuming that the luminous paint has been sufficiently charged up by a light source such as your head torch. Second, the base plate is substantially thicker than other compasses, and it has a very robust feel. Also with the mirror extended flat, it is possible to orient quite long lines on the map. The compass has a feature for measuring the incline of a slope, which looks like it could be really useful, but I have not used yet. It comes with a comprehensive user guide that actually gives you a primer on several important navigation techniques. Two very minor negative points. The magnifier on the base plate is quite small, so less useful than on other compasses... there just isn't enough space on the base plate for it. The direction is indicated only in mils, it would be nice if there was a secondary scale showing degrees. Finally the distance measurement scales are present for 1:25000 (OS Exporer maps) and 1:50000 (OS Landranger maps), but it would be nice to also have 1:40000 (Harvey maps). Review: Excellent (if you need a compass that is) - I have used several types of compass over a large number of years from the military prismatic type to both Silva and Suunto orienteering types. All have their particular virtues. Prismatics are almost impossible to break and are the most accurate, orienteering types weigh virually nothing and are very easy and quick to use, not as accurate as the prismatic but plenty good enough for most normal purposes. They're pretty robust but it is possible to break the baseplate and the markings can wear off with extended use. This one was bought to serve both in the UK and overseas as it has a global needle. The mirror housing, in addition to preforming it's intended function as part of the compass and clinometer sighting mechanism, also provides very useful protection to the needle housing and baseplate. Seems pretty bombproof to me and still very lightweight. Just throw away the curious little plastic clip and thread the lanyard directly into the compass baseplate, then it should still be with you when you need it! ## Features - Advanced Navigational Compass: Made with serious hikers in mind, this professional mirror compass was designed for precise directional measurement and has been balanced for global use with Metric UTM scales and inch ruler - Precise And Dependable: Operable in low light conditions, the MC-2 Compass includes a sighting hole and notch for accurate bearings, declination adjustment tool, and a clinometer - Stay On Course: Made in Finland, Suunto mechanical compasses help you safely and accurately navigate the great outdoors; Great for Alpine skiing, hiking, trekking, mountain biking, trail running and more - Pioneering Exploration: Combining advanced engineering and thoughtful design with ultra durable materials, our adventure ready compasses are fast, stable, and simple to use; No batteries required - Authentic Heritage: Founded in 1936, Suunto brings over 80 years of high quality heritage craftsmanship, relentless accuracy, and pioneering innovation to our watches, compasses, and dive products ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BSDU5I | | Best Sellers Rank | 36,963 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 65 in Compasses (Sports & Outdoors) | | Brand | SUUNTO | | Brand Name | SUUNTO | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,271 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 06417084042521 | | Included Components | compass | | Item Dimensions L x W | 10.1L x 6.5W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Suunto Mc-2/360/G/D/L Compass - Black | | Item Weight | 75 Grams | | Item weight | 75 Grams | | Manufacturer | SUUNTO | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6417084042521 | | Map Scale | 1:25,000 & 1:50,000 | | Map scale | 1:25,000 & 1:50,000 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | SS004252010 | | Mounting Type | Lanyard mount | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Product dimensions | 10.1L x 6.5W centimetres | | Special Features | Mirror, clinometer and adjustable declination correction | | Special feature | Mirror, clinometer and adjustable declination correction | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SUUNTO - **Item weight:** 75 Grams - **Material:** Plastic - **Product dimensions:** 10.1L x 6.5W centimetres - **Special feature:** Mirror, clinometer and adjustable declination correction ## Images ![MC-2 Mirror Compass, Global/Northern Hemisphere Orientation Adventure/Hiking Compass, Magnifying Lens, Adjustable Declination & Luminous Markings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717lUIGXTJL.jpg) ![MC-2 Mirror Compass, Global/Northern Hemisphere Orientation Adventure/Hiking Compass, Magnifying Lens, Adjustable Declination & Luminous Markings - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KPAJeZU2L.jpg) ![MC-2 Mirror Compass, Global/Northern Hemisphere Orientation Adventure/Hiking Compass, Magnifying Lens, Adjustable Declination & Luminous Markings - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BsPWnhyXL.jpg) ![MC-2 Mirror Compass, Global/Northern Hemisphere Orientation Adventure/Hiking Compass, Magnifying Lens, Adjustable Declination & Luminous Markings - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PMBDgF-mL.jpg) ![MC-2 Mirror Compass, Global/Northern Hemisphere Orientation Adventure/Hiking Compass, Magnifying Lens, Adjustable Declination & Luminous Markings - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81++oKcHqoL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What 360/G/D/L stand for?** A: Hi The G stands for Global meaning that the compass can be used in the northern and southern hemisphere. D stands for Declination adjustment and the L is for Luminosity markings for reading in low light areas. Hope this helps **Q: Stupid question -but where is the direction of travel arrow?** A: Hi it’s not really an arrow,there is a red triangle near the lanyard hole, with the compass open you set your bearing (with declination) and look up the line made up of the triangle and all the luminous marks one above triangle one on hinge one at top of mirror and follow the line **Q: Is this the global compass model?** A: Yes, the model has adjustable declination so it can be adjusted depending location. **Q: How does the global version comparer to the nh one? what exactly are the pros and cons? or are there no cons? is global just "better"?** A: It's all to do with how the compas needle is balanced Google it as it is common to ALL makes of compas. If you are only going to be navigating in the Northern hemisphere then buy the nh one if you only navigate in the southern hemisphere buy the sh one. If you are navigating all over the world buy the Global one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent compass *by N***T on 7 November 2018* I have used this for navigation during day and night in the Lake District and New Forest, it is the best compass I have tried.

I was losing my mind sorting through the fakes on here so decided to come back and add my review... Compass has already been used once to navigate the Cairngorms and was incredibly accurate. Buy this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - Suunto Compass MC-2 - Maoershan Hard Eva Travel Protective Compass Case Compatible for SUUNTO MC-2/MC2G Navigator Quality Precision Compass(Case Only) - Be Expert with Map and Compass --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49966536-mc-2-mirror-compass-global-northern-hemisphere-orientation-adventure-hiking](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49966536-mc-2-mirror-compass-global-northern-hemisphere-orientation-adventure-hiking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
