The classic military lensatic compass.

This Made-in-the-USA compass is perfect for those who want a high-grade mirrored sighting navigation aid. Since 1894, Brunton has set the gold standard in precision equipment for field-based professionals and outdoor enthusiasts.  

The Brunton H-3 is illuminated with tritium and meets all US military specifications for durability and performance. Featuring a new magnetic needle that is exceptionally fast, smooth, and stable, a glass lens, a durable bezel that won't lose its clicks, and a unique and improved carrying case, the Brunton H-3 has a clear advantage over its competition.  

Brunton lensatic compasses come with a lanyard and a quality nylon pouch with a unique 3-way attachment for belt, ALICE clip, or MOLLE system. The heavy-duty metal body with a long, straight edge ensures easy and accurate map work. The hinged points then allow the body to be folded down to a small 3 x 2.2 inch unit that can slide into a pocket.
