The Cammenga G.I. Special Tritium Lensatic Compass is made for navigating through deep cold, high heat and fading light, functional from -50°F to +150°F. It is shock, water and sand proof, so a hard trip does not cost you your heading.

Seven tritium micro lights allow navigation in low-light conditions, and the aluminum frame with a waterproof housing is built to last. Made in the USA in Olive Drab.

Why it works:

  • Works across extreme temperatures: Bitter cold and hot days are covered, with a functional range from -50°F to +150°F.
  • Shrugs off rough handling: Drops, wet conditions and grit are part of the plan, since the compass is shock, water and sand proof.
  • Navigation as the light drops: The dial stays usable as dusk sets in, thanks to seven tritium micro lights.
  • Readings you can trust: A magnifying lens, sighting wire and dial graduations in degrees and mils help ensure accurate readings, while copper induction dampening slows the magnet without liquids.
  • Built to last and easy to carry: Its aluminum frame and waterproof housing were built to last, and the box adds a carrying pouch with belt clip.

Who it's built for:
