Trail Run Compass by SILVA

Silva Trail Run Compass — MS (Southern Hemisphere)

Feather-light navigation built for runners, racers and fast movers

When you’re moving fast through single-track, ridgelines and forest trails, you need a compass that is small, light and instantly usable — not bulky expedition gear. The Silva Trail Run was designed from the ground up for trail runners, rogainers and adventure racers who need reliable navigation without carrying extra weight.

At just 31 grams and only 80 mm long, this compact baseplate compass fits naturally into the palm of your hand and stays securely attached with its adjustable wrist strap — so it’s always ready when you need it.

Balanced for the Southern Hemisphere, it delivers stable, accurate bearings across Australia and New Zealand.

🏃♂️ Built for Movement, Not Standing Still

Traditional compasses are made for slow map work. The Trail Run is built for navigation on the move:

• Ultra-compact size slips easily into your hand while running

• Bevelled baseplate corners improve grip and reduce weight

• Clean, distraction-free design keeps your eyes on the map

• Adjustable wrist lanyard ensures the compass never leaves your hand

You don’t stop running — you just glance, adjust, and keep moving.

🧭 Fast, Simple Bearing Control

The rotating bezel lets you:

• Set a bearing quickly

• Lock in your direction

• Follow it confidently through terrain

With no cluttered markings or complex features, the Trail Run keeps navigation intuitive and fast — exactly what trail runners need.

🗺️ Separate Scale & Stencil Card

To keep the compass light and clean, Silva includes the measuring tools on a separate scale card:

• 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scales

• Millimetre ruler

• Stencil holes for marking controls and routes

You get all the functionality of a full baseplate compass — without carrying the extra plastic.

🌏 Southern Hemisphere Accuracy

Every Silva Trail Run we sell is a Magnetic South (MS) model. This means:

• The needle is properly balanced

• It stays flat and stable

• Bearings are accurate in Australia & New Zealand

Northern Hemisphere compasses can’t do this here — this one is made for it.

🛡️ Durable Where It Counts

Despite its lightweight design, the Trail Run is built for rough outdoor use:

• High-strength baseplate resists bending and cracking

• Silva quality needle and capsule for consistent performance

• Designed to handle sweat, rain, drops and trail abuse

It’s a runner’s compass — tough, simple and dependable.
