Brunton TruArc 20

Doubling as an inclinometer, this “Made in Wyoming” model’s durability stood up to the rigors of backcountry and coastal travel in Chile. With mirror sighting and a smooth thumb-operated rotating dial, accuracy wasn’t a challenge for this compass.   Brunton’s “No Questions Asked” guarantee provided an added incentive to plot our course.  Sighting was rapid even in high winds and rain with a stable, 2.5”-wide sure-gripping base. 

Tester Quote: “This 3.6oz model works for first-timers and experienced navigators alike.  My favorite feature is the needle system that fights back against magnetic interference from vehicles and buildings.  Bring your GPS, but trust TruArc20 to steer you right.”

Best For: All-season, international use including snowsports where the clinometer is crucial
