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

Elite performance. Reinforced for racing. Built for Australian conditions.

The Str8 EVO RH is a high-performance thumb compass engineered for orienteers, rogainers and adventure racers who demand speed, stability and durability at competition level — without the premium price of top-tier models. With its reinforced capsule protector, ultra-fast needle and exceptional map visibility, the EVO delivers professional navigation performance in a tough, race-ready package.

Balanced for the Southern Hemisphere and compatible with the Str8 M Magnifier (Right Hand), this is a serious navigator’s tool.


🏃 Designed for Speed & Control

Every detail of the Str8 EVO is built to help you move fast and stay precise:

  • Adjustable thumb angle (±20°) — tailor the fit to your grip and running style

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

  • 89 mm full-view main pointer — long, easy-to-follow direction line

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

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

It feels natural, balanced and incredibly responsive while running.


🧲 Ultra-Fast, Ultra-Stable Needle

The EVO uses low-resistance needle technology to deliver:

  • Instant settling

  • Minimal oscillation

  • Rock-solid directional stability

Even at full race pace, the needle stays locked on target.


🛡️ Built for Real Racing

This is not delicate gear — the EVO is engineered to survive competition:

  • Hardened capsule protector shields the needle and housing

  • 5 mm high-strength body delivers durability without extra weight

  • Firm-feel thumb strap keeps the compass locked to your hand

  • Anti-slip design improves map contact and control

It’s made for bush, forest, scrub and trail — not just parkland.


🔍 Magnifier-Ready

The EVO features Str8’s secure 3-point magnifier mounts, allowing it to integrate perfectly with the Str8 M Magnifier (Right Hand) for high-detail map reading without wobble or vibration.


🌏 Southern Hemisphere Balanced

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

  • Australia

  • New Zealand

  • Southern Hemisphere magnetic zones

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