Overview
The Ranger 2.0 is Silva's classic baseplate compass, with a fast-settling needle, map scales, luminous markings, and a rubberized DryFlex grip. Gear-heads carry it because a quality baseplate compass weighs an ounce, needs no battery, and remains the navigation tool of last resort when electronics fail.
