Suunto MC-2/360/IN/D/NH compass

Description

A professional mirror compass with top-of-the-line features for direction and slope measurements for mountain adventures. When venturing out into new territory, MC-2 sighting compasses offer precision navigation with a variety of carefully engineered and dependable features for challenging conditions. Depending on the variant, MC-2 comes with Metric UTM scales and inch ruler or USGS UTM scales.
The Earth’s magnetic field does not flow evenly between the magnetic poles along the surface of the planet. To compensate for the natural tilt in the magnetic field, Suunto compasses use one of two balancing systems and you should choose the variant best serving your needs.
One is a two-zone system with needles balanced for either the northern or southern hemisphere. The second is a unique globally balanced system. A single needle is balanced to work anywhere in the world. This is achieved by a breakthrough construction allowing the needle and magnet to tilt independently.

Adjustable declination correction:
– Correct the declination between map north (North Pole) and magnetic north for trusted navigation. Read more about declination correction.
Stable operation:
– The compass liquid used by Suunto is specially formulated to provide damping over a large temperature range while preventing the needle from sticking.
Mirror for more:
– The mirror on a compass serves the dual purpose of allowing you to sight bearings accurately and facilitating signaling by reflecting sunlight.
Accurate bearings:
– Sighting hole and notch in a compass facilitate precise navigation by allowing you to align the compass with distant landmarks and obtain accurate bearings.
Integrated clinometer:
– The clinometer is useful in uneven terrain where you need to determine slope gradient to pinpoint your exact location. It also helps to measure altitude.
Detachable snap-lock lanyard:
– The lanyard with wristlock is easy to detach for working with the map.
