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

Elite race performance in a compact, precision-engineered form

The Str8 Kompakt RH delivers the legendary performance of the Str8 Original in a smaller, lighter and more ergonomic profile — designed specifically for right-handed navigators. Tuned for the Southern Hemisphere and engineered for elite orienteering, rogaining and adventure racing, this is a competition-grade thumb compass built for speed, stability and absolute accuracy.

Compatible with the Str8 M Magnifier (Right Hand), the Kompakt gives serious navigators a professional-level advantage in a streamlined design.


🏃 Compact Design. Maximum Control.

The Kompakt is built to enhance map feel and hand control:

  • Compact ergonomic body improves grip and precision

  • Shorter thumb reach allows faster map handling

  • Adjustable thumb angle (±20°) customises fit to your grip

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

It feels natural, fast and precise — exactly what race navigation demands.


🧲 World-Class Needle Performance

Using the same technology as the acclaimed Str8 Original, the Kompakt delivers:

  • Low-resistance needle technology

  • Ultra-fast settling and rock-solid stability

  • 83 mm full-view main pointer

  • Twin outside line-of-sight pointers

You get instant directional feedback, even at full race speed.


🛡️ Built for Competitive Conditions

Every Str8 Kompakt is engineered to survive high-intensity racing:

  • 5 mm aluminium capsule protector

  • Ultra-clear, high-strength body

  • Two anti-slip map gripper straps (soft touch, firm hold)

  • Secure 3-point magnifier mounting system

This is professional-grade navigation hardware — not fragile race gear.


🌏 Southern Hemisphere Balanced

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

  • Australia

  • New Zealand

  • Southern Hemisphere magnetic fields

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