Brunton made the Eclipse 8099 Compass for serious backcountry travelers who need a tool for days where a little mistake in navigation can have major consequences. A couple degrees off and you could end up in the wrong couloir which leads to the wrong valley which leads to a road ten miles from where you parked. Yeah, that would be a bummer. With an adjustable declination, magnified readout, sighting mirror, and even field reference cards, the Brunton Eclipse 8099 Compass keeps you right on track.
Our Eclipse® 8099 is an all-in-one professional compass that serves as both a baseplate and a mirrored sighting map compass. Designed for easy-navigation, the 8099 features three clinometer systems and our patented circle-over-circle alignment system. Includes field reference cards for mapping and emergency skills.

I've had other compasses that range within a degree or two every time I would sight them. This compass is right on. All the other frills and gadgets are nice, but without a rock-solid platform, the frills don't cut it. This compass is right on every time. The only down side is the clinometer, the marker on the back for setting it is not there. A small issue considering they have 3 variations of clinometer and the other two are not effected by this one over site. Not sure if this issue is unique to my compass or to all Eclipse 8099's. But overall, it does not diminish my appreciation for this compass. | |
