The 9077 Lensatic Sighting Compass from Brunton is a military-style sighting compass. A hinged closure is shaped to comfortably accommodate your thumb and help stabilize the compass housing during navigation. A liquid dampened needle, rugged metal construction, and glow in the dark cardinal directions make the 9077 a full-featured lensatic compass for backpacking and day hikes.
