Rothco Lensatic Metal Compass | Luminous Dial Navigation Tool

The Rothco Lensatic Metal Compass is a lensatic navigation compass that gives hikers and explorers a bearing they can trust when the trail fades and the phone has no signal. Sight a landmark through the magnifying viewer, line it up on the built-in sighting hairline and steady the case with the thumb hold. The floating luminous dial and adjustable luminous marching line stay readable as the light drops, so the route holds from first light to dusk.

Why it works:

• Readable as daylight fades: You can keep navigating into dusk and other low-light settings, because both the floating dial and the marching line are luminous.
• A heading you can hold: Set your direction of travel once and keep it in view as you walk, using the adjustable luminous marching line as your reference.
• Cleaner reads on distant landmarks: Aim at a ridge or treeline with more precision through the magnifying viewer and built-in sighting hairline.
• Steady in the hand: A thumb hold braces the compass while you sight and aim, for a more stable directional reading.
• A case made for rough country: The aluminum cast metal case is built for harsh outdoor conditions, from dense forest to wide-open landscapes.
