Does anyone have experience with Tru Nord Compasses? Thoughts? I’m looking for a new small button compass to replace my Suunto Clipper L/B compass as my Suunto works intermittently after only two years of use, and the Tru Nord 150C looks intriguing. Yes, the 150C is pricey for a button compass, but I’d rather spend a little more for something that’ll last plus it’s geo compensated and comes with a life time warranty regardless of the cause of failure. I won’t use the button compass for detailed navigation, I have another compass for that, rather the button compass is used for a quick look for orientation.

that looks pretty nice – brass rather than plastic, made in U.S., fairly cheap – good for if you were lost, trying to go in a straight line rather than hike in circles
ouch that is spendy. i wonder if that is someone else’s compass capsule in a nicely machined housing?
GG Satre, the name on the compass face has Google sending you to Tru Nord.
cool find. Same size a 5 quarters stacked up.
I almost bought that compass from Massdrop a while back until I read multiple reviews of the compass falling out of the brass housing.
