MINIMALISTIC BASEPLATE COMPASS FOR HIKERS AND SCOUTS
Fast, simple and accurate, A-10 baseplate compasses are quick to learn and ideal for navigating with a map and compass. For calculating the distances, A-10 has both metric and imperical scales printed in red to stand out on topographic map. The Earth’s magnetic field does not flow evenly between the magnetic poles along the surface of the planet. To overcome this, A-10 has two variants with needles balanced for either the northern or southern hemisphere.Sustainable design from Finland
Suunto compasses are born from a legacy of Finnish innovation, crafted with precision and reliability that has guided adventurers since 1936. Designed and manufactured in Finland, each compass reflects Suunto’s commitment to quality, durability, and environmental responsibility. Made with 100% renewable energy, our compasses are built to last ensuring they remain a trusted companion for years of exploration. For greater transparency, we’ve calculated a category-level carbon footprint for selected field compass models, representing the average climate impact of a compass in this category.Information
