Compass for Plastic Movement – Army Green Aluminium Alloy with Kerosene Damping

This liquid-filled compass provides steady directional readings for outdoor navigation, hiking, and field use. The kerosene-damped movement reduces needle overswing, helping you take a bearing more quickly in challenging conditions. Its compact folding design and lightweight aluminium alloy shell make it easy to carry in a pocket or pack. Finished in Army Green, the compass suits military-enthusiast or bushcraft settings.

Features and Construction

Built from a combination of aluminium alloy, plastic, and a magnet, this compass balances portability with basic ruggedness. The kerosene fill inside the capsule dampens needle movement for faster settling times.

Material and Build

The outer shell is aluminium alloy, offering a lightweight shell that resists knocks during transport. Inside, plastic components house the magnetised needle and capsule. The kerosene liquid inside stabilises the needle without the need for bulky electronics.

Size and Practical Fit

When open the compass measures 146 x 58 x 28 mm, giving a readable face. Folded dimensions reduce to 77 x 58 x 28 mm for compact storage. At 55 g, it adds negligible weight to your load.

Uses and Placement

The compass is designed for outdoor navigation where battery-free reliability matters. It works well as a backup to GPS devices or as a primary tool in environments where digital devices fail.

Event or Professional Use

Useful for orienteering, mapping exercises, and military-style training drills where a simple, mechanical navigation tool is specified. The Army Green colour and compact form factor suit field uniforms and kit bags.

Everyday Home Use

Handy for car glove boxes, emergency kits, and home bushcraft practice. Its small size means it can be stored in a drawer or daypack without being obtrusive.

Benefits and Buying Value

This compass offers mechanical reliability without batteries or electronics. The kerosene damping and magnetic needle provide consistent performance in most conditions.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

No batteries to replace or digital screens to break. As long as the capsule remains sealed and the shell undamaged, the compass remains functional year after year.

Why Choose This Product

For anyone needing a straightforward, liquid-damped compass in a lightweight aluminium shell, this model delivers the basic features required for navigation without unnecessary complexity. Its Army Green finish suits outdoor-themed kits and collections.
