The compact, lightweight housing reduces interference with motion while maintaining stable needle performance for reliable navigation in varied outdoor environments.

Advantages

Durable materials and a stable baseplate construction offer consistent operation across a range of temperatures and terrain types.

How to use

Hold the SILVA Racing Arc Jet 360 Right Hand with your right hand so your thumb rests on the bezel for easy rotation. Align the edge of the baseplate with your map course or target landmark, then rotate the bezel until the index matches the desired bearing. Lift your head and rotate your body until the magnetic needle aligns with the orienting marks; the directional arrow then indicates your travel direction. Use short, controlled glances at the compass while moving to maintain bearing without breaking stride.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the compass away from magnetic and metallic objects that can disturb the needle. Practice map-to-compass drills at slow pace before attempting high-speed navigation. When not in use, store the compass in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight to preserve printed markings and material integrity.
