Sun Company ZiprComp - Micro Ball Compass with Lanyard | Zipper Pull Compass for Jacket, Parka, or Pack

I want to carry a compass at all times, just in case. This one is almost perfect and far better than any others I have seen. I do wish that the orange markings on the card were phosphorescent. The arrow, at the least, should glow for a while. A tritium vial for the pointer would be too much to ask for, but I can dream big. The small size is perfect, just about the same thickness as the other stuff I wear as a pendant.I'm amazed that there is no air bubble like larger versions have. Well done!

Inexpensive, and easy to use. I can't begin to express how useful these buggers are. I just wish they were more ubiquitous.

I thought this would be a small lightweight addition to my daypack that would hold general direction. Unfortunately, this Compass does not meet that criteria. Out of the package I noticed it was not orienting north correctly. I put it next to one of other compasses and confirmed that this Compass actually put north going slightly east. I understand that this a cheap Compass Ian I had no expectations other that it point the right way. It failed in its most basic function.I would not recommend this at all unless you want an excuse to stay lost

Good quality, no question.It is, though, a bit different. There's two opposite readings on the ball. Read the back of the bubble-pack card to know how to read it. Not intuitive.

This is a great little compass for those of us who need to be sure they are headed in the right direction. I would not rely on it for hiking,because of its size. It is better suited for an urban environment, say you arrived at a large train station and you need to go out the west exits, not the east. I like the direction of travel feature. For my use, clipping it on a backpack, the cord could have been a little longer.

I use this all the time, primarily for determining sun angles when setting up in a new RV site. Sometimes I want sun and sometimes I want shade. I don’t want full sun on my refrigeration, mot of the time. It’s handy.

Great little compass. Brilliant idea with the 2-way reading options.Only issue was the lanyard cord broke in less than a day. Better quality cord is needed.

As someone who is chronically turned-around, I wanted to get this as a little way to remind myself where the heck I am from time to time. It seems to work very well, and it's about as small as a paintball. I'd definitely buy it again if I ever lost it!
