Review: This compass is one of the best navigation tool i've ever bought... Keep in mind that GPS signals from satellites aren't available anywhere/everywhere and are always subject to being intercepted or jammed when a war begins or solar blasts erupts. When GPS batteries are going down or if you're in an area where satellites are not available, you'll be glad to have this alternative tool. U.S. Military made this compass with quality in mind when they've pass the contract to Cammenga. They didn't went with the lowest bidder and so this is one of the most expensive compass you can buy but there's a good reason for it. Frame is made from good quality aluminium and the housing is waterproof. CAMMENGA lensatic compasses slow the needle via induction dampening and avoid the problems associated with liquid fill. So it's ready for operations in our Canada's cold temperature! The lighting from the tritium is made to glow for around 10 to 15 years without being exposed to light. This is perfect for night navigation. If you're an amateur or professional hiker, survivor, police or military and need a good compass you'll keep for all your life and pass to your grandchildren, this is the best compass to buy.
Review: Excellent quality compass. You take it in your hands and feel the quality. All markers (sighting wire, line on glass, rear sight with lense) are aligned. Nothing is loose or dangling. The compass marks are glowing in green, this is obviously due to the tritium tubes. It's made to withstand harsh conditions, aluminum and durable, you shouldn't drop it, but accidentally can sit on it without any consequences. When the compass is closed, the north arrow lifts up and is removed from the needle, which is not the case with all cheap or fake/knock off compasses. This protects the compass mechanism from damage due to shaking or falling and wear and tear. What is disappointing: 1. Its price when you pay for it, but its really worth it. Other good quality compass manufacturers also sells their products in similar price 2. Bezel could be aluminum too, it is plastic 3. Degrees markers in 5 degree step

Fantastic compass, when in the field you need kit that feels right for you personally. I have tried cheaper lensatic compasses that were every bit as accurate as the 3H, but they did not feel right. This compass does what it says on the tin. The only negative I've heard of is that some Compasses are not watertight, thankfully mine is, so definitely check for this if you do buy one. Yes, it is expensive, but quality does cost, plus, I am pretty certain this compass will last my lifetime.
