What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
For a few bucks, a compass that i can just clip on my pants' belt loops, practically weightless, feels sturdy enough.

Solid feel and seems to point north properly.
Product is as advertised, it’s durable and reliable and great to have on the trails.
The carabiner seems sturdy, but it is on the small side.
The one i got works well provided it isn't near iron or steel, or magnets of course.
Price
My main excuse for spending money on it is quick, simple navigation during heavy snow, rain, dust, smoke, or any other situatio... Read More

Like most cheap compasses the glow in the dark stuff will probably fade with time but in the vast majority of situations you may be in you will not be navigating at night
