Silva RACE PLATE COMPASS MS

The SILVA Race Plate is the successor to the SILVA 5-360 Jet compass.

The biggest, and perhaps most important difference, is the smaller baseplate to fit better in the user’s hand.  It also has a smaller capsule which significantly reduces the risk of bubbles.

Another difference is that the stencil holes have been withdrawn from the baseplate and put in a separate “scale and stencil hole” plastic card that comes with the compass..

The SILVA Jet needle is extremely fast and stable, and the design has been changed to increase the map visibility. The rubber feet beneath the compass means better map contact and minimum risk of slipping.

This compass is perfect for the orienteer or whoever is in need of a compass with outstanding quality, fast needle settling time and stability during running.
