Suunto MC-2 G USGS Mirror Compass - Adjustable Declination Correction And Jewel Bearing Global Balance Needle

The Suunto MC-2 G USGS Mirror Compass is a precision navigation tool designed for serious hikers, map readers, and outdoor explorers who rely on accurate bearings and map-based planning. With integrated USGS scales, a magnifying base plate, and a thoughtful suite of sighting features, it helps you navigate confidently in the backcountry.

• USGS UTM Scales: Directly align bearings with UTM grid coordinates on topographic maps for precise, map-driven navigation.
• Magnifying Base Plate: Built-in magnifier aids reading fine map details and grid lines without removing the compass from your map.
• Sighting Mirror: Use the mirror for accurate bearing alignment and discreet signaling when needed.
• Sighting Hole and Notch: Dedicated sighting point to ensure you acquire precise bearings every time.
• Adjustable Declination Correction: Compensate magnetic declination on your chosen map, helping you trace true-path lines with confidence.
• 20° Tilt Margin: A clear visual margin for easier readings when holding the compass at challenging angles or on uneven ground.
• Liquid-Filled Capsule: Stable needle behavior in rugged conditions, reducing wobble and improving consistency during movements.
• Fast Globally Balanced Needle with Jewel Bearing: Smooth, rapid stabilization for quick bearing fixes in dynamic environments.
• Lanyard with Wrist Lock and Declination Tool: Keeps the compass secure while offering ready access to declination adjustments in the field.
• Clinometer: Lets you estimate slope or grade, aiding safer route planning and terrain assessment.
• Luminescent Markings: Readability in low-light conditions, from dawn to dusk and night excursions.
• Boxed with Hanging Tab: Durable packaging that’s easy to store and display when needed.

This compass is ideal for anyone performing map-heavy navigation: hikers tackling remote trails, mountaineers plotting routes on rugged terrain, field researchers aligning observations with map grids, and search-and-rescue teams requiring reliable bearings under varying light. Its built-in declination adjustment and USGS map-specific features reduce the guesswork of navigating with a map, while the mirror, sighting hole, and inclinometer provide practical tools for real-world scenarios—from crossing steep slopes to signaling teammates in open terrain. For best results, pair it with your favorite USGS topographic maps, use the magnifying lens for fine print, and leverage the declination correction to keep bearings true. The Suunto MC-2 G is a purpose-built companion for map-first navigation that you can trust in the field.
