Brunton built the Eclipse Adventure Racing Compass especially for adventure racers. Brunton's patented circle-over-circle system prevents tired competitors from accidentally taking a reading in reverse, and a global needle ensures this compass works anywhere in the world. UTM roamer scales and template scales make the Eclipse Adventure Racing Compass a great companion to your GPS. The Eclipse also includes several map measurement scales for easy map reading. The extra-thick baseplate holds up under challenging course conditions. A wrist lanyard comes with this compass.

I needed a new compass, and since my primary use for a compass are adventure races and orienteering events, this looked like the perfect compass. I would have liked to see a 1:10,000 scale UTM on it as well, since we are fortunate to have many areas mapped to that detail. However after using, I found that the needle doesn't settle to north very quickly, if at all. I had a few occasions when i traveled in the wrong direction because what the compass said was north, wasn't north at all,... easily 20-40 degrees off. | |
