Ranger SL Compass by SILVA

🧭 SILVA Ranger SL — Mirror Sighting Compass (Southern Hemisphere)

Compact precision for serious navigation

The Silva Ranger SL is a professional-grade mirror sighting compass built for navigators who need accurate bearings in a compact, lightweight format. With its integrated sighting mirror, sun dial and hands-free safety-pin attachment, this compass delivers advanced navigation capability in a pocket-sized design — ideal for bushwalkers, search & rescue, adventure racers and serious outdoor explorers.

Balanced for the Southern Hemisphere and backed by Silva’s 5-year warranty, it’s a precision tool you can rely on anywhere in Australia and New Zealand.

🎯 Mirror Sighting for True Accuracy

The Ranger SL’s built-in sighting mirror allows you to:

• Take high-precision bearings on distant landmarks

• Keep your eye on the target while reading the compass

• Reduce angular error when navigating long legs

This makes it far more accurate than standard baseplate compasses for serious field use.

☀️ Built-In Sun Dial & Hands-Free Use

The integrated sun dial gives you an extra navigation reference when the sky is clear, while the pin-on jacket clip lets you:

• Attach the compass to your jacket, pack strap or vest

• Read bearings without holding it

• Navigate hands-free while walking, skiing or climbing

It’s perfect for fast movement and cold conditions where gloves are worn.

🧲 Professional-Grade Needle System

Inside the liquid-filled capsule you’ll find:

• Sapphire jewel bearing for friction-free movement

• High-quality magnetic needle

• Patented red/black orienting lines for fast alignment

This ensures smooth, stable and accurate readings — even when moving.

🌙 Day or Night Navigation

The luminous markings allow you to read bearings in:

• Low light

• Forest shade

• Dusk, dawn or night navigation

No batteries — just reliable glow when you need it.

🌏 Southern Hemisphere Accuracy

Every Silva Ranger SL we sell is a Magnetic South (MS) model, tuned specifically for:

• Australia

• New Zealand

• Southern Hemisphere magnetic zones

This keeps the needle flat and accurate — something Northern Hemisphere compasses cannot do here.
