Geiserailie Compass Reviews?

Post image

I’m the director of a brand new search & rescue team with very minimal funding. As much as I would love to purchase Silva compasses for all my volunteers, there’s no way we can swing it just yet. Putting on an orienteering class at the end of the month. I’ve seen these all over Amazon and Temu. Any experience with these cheap alternatives? This will be ideally just for class and not for wilderness rescue.

From my experience working with silva, most silva dealers are really receptive to working and collaberation with sar units. Shoot a dealer a message you might get a discounted pricing especially as you buy in bulk

Stay away from the cheap stuff, lives depend on this.

I would imagine there's a number of places that offer pro deals that carry decent compasses as well.
