π§ Str8 KOMPAKT Thumb Compass β Left Hand (Southern Hemisphere)
Elite performance in a compact, race-ready design
The Str8 Kompakt LH is a high-performance thumb compass designed for navigators who want the precision of the Str8 Original β in a smaller, lighter and more ergonomic profile. Built specifically for left-hand use and balanced for the Southern Hemisphere, this is a competition-grade compass optimised for smaller hands, faster map contact and ultra-precise navigation.
Compatible with the Str8 M Magnifier (Left), the Kompakt delivers professional-level accuracy in a streamlined race package.
π Built for Speed & Precision
The Str8 Kompakt isnβt just smaller β itβs smarter.
-
Compact ergonomic body improves map feel and control
-
Shorter thumb reach allows faster, more natural map handling
-
Adjustable thumb angle (Β±20Β°) lets you fine-tune the fit to your grip and style
-
Offset capsule (6 mm) keeps the needle clear of the map for better visibility
Itβs designed to disappear in your hand β letting you focus entirely on the terrain and the route.
π§² World-Class Needle Performance
The Kompakt uses the same needle technology as the legendary Str8 Original:
-
Low-resistance technology needle
-
Ultra-fast settling and rock-solid stability
-
Full-view 83 mm main pointer
-
Twin outside pointers for line-of-sight alignment
This gives you instant directional feedback even while running at speed.
π‘οΈ Built for the Demands of Competition
Str8 compasses are engineered for elite orienteering and adventure racing:
-
Aluminium capsule protector (5 mm) β shields the needle and capsule from impact
-
Ultra-clear, high-strength body β maximum visibility with race-grade durability
-
Two anti-slip map gripper straps β soft touch, firm hold, zero slip
-
Secure 3-point magnifier mount β designed to lock perfectly with the Str8 M Magnifier
This is a tool built to survive hard racing and intense training.
π Southern Hemisphere Accuracy
This model is MS (Magnetic South) balanced for:
-
Australia
-
New Zealand
-
Southern Hemisphere magnetic zones
The needle remains flat, stable and precise β something Northern Hemisphere compasses cannot do here.
