🧭 Str8 EVO Thumb Compass — Left Hand (Southern Hemisphere)

Race-tuned precision with added protection and control

The Str8 EVO LH is a next-generation competition thumb compass engineered for elite orienteers, rogainers and fast-moving navigators who demand absolute precision and durability. Featuring a reinforced capsule protector, ultra-fast needle, and Str8’s signature ergonomic design, the EVO delivers race-ready performance in a compact, highly refined package.

Balanced for the Southern Hemisphere and compatible with the Str8 M Magnifier (Left Hand), this compass is built for serious navigation in Australian and New Zealand conditions.


🏃 Engineered for Speed & Accuracy

The EVO is designed to give you total control while navigating at pace:

  • Adjustable thumb angle (±20°) — customise fit and alignment to your grip

  • 6 mm offset capsule — lifts the needle clear of the map for improved visibility

  • 89 mm full-view main pointer — long, clear sightline for precise bearings

  • Twin outside line-of-sight pointers — lock onto direction quickly and confidently

  • Precise positioning tip — pinpoint navigation at controls and attack points

Everything is optimised for fast, accurate decision-making while running.


🧲 Ultra-Fast, Ultra-Stable Needle

The Str8 EVO uses low-resistance needle technology to deliver:

  • Instant settling

  • Minimal oscillation

  • Rock-solid directional stability

You get clean, reliable bearings even while sprinting through complex terrain.


🛡️ Reinforced for Competition

The EVO is built to handle race abuse:

  • Hardened capsule protector shields the needle and housing

  • 5 mm high-strength body delivers excellent durability with low weight

  • Firm-feel thumb strap keeps the compass secure at speed

  • Anti-slip design improves map contact and control

This is a compass designed for real racing — not gentle trail use.


🔍 Magnifier-Ready

The EVO includes Str8’s secure 3-point magnifier mounts, allowing it to integrate perfectly with the Str8 M Magnifier (Left Hand) for enhanced map clarity without wobble or vibration.


🌏 Southern Hemisphere Balanced

This model is a true MS (Magnetic South) compass, perfectly tuned for:

  • Australia

  • New Zealand

  • Southern Hemisphere magnetic zones

The needle remains flat, stable and accurate — essential for precision navigation here.
