This compass is loaded with the features I was looking for in a compass: sighting mirror, declination adjustment, measurements in both cm and inches and a magifiying lense (the eyes can use help reading the map details). Its nice to have an aluminum mirror - no worries about it breaking just when you need it the most. Its nice to have a flexible capsule - I guess time will tell about how durable it is. I wanted a compass that I could easily use to sight landmarks in the field and draw onto my map. This compass is easy to use, and the luminous dial is easy to read.

In some respects, its more compass than I need - I never use the clinometer, for example.

The declination setting requires the use of a special plastic tool that is included. Some compasses use a small screwdriver which allows you to use a knife blade if you lose the screwdriver. I haven't figured out what to do if I lose the plastic adjustment tool that's needed with this compass. That may be a problem in the future.

My wife and I use this tent for weekend backpacking trips. I carry it, which is why she likes it. I like it because it is roomy for two people without being overly heavy. (If you're planning on sleeping three people in it, make sure you're all real good friends.) At 7 pounds it violates the 3 pounds per person guideline. I maintain it's worth it because you get two doors and two large vestibules. Two doors are super when you have to get up in the middle of the night and you can do it without crawling over someone. Two vestibules are really great for tucking boots and stuff out of the weather. The tent has a lot of mesh which keeps condensation from building up. And, it comes with an attic for storing breakable things like glasses. My only complaint is that the tent doesn't come with a cool name like Hubba Hubba.
