Highgear Trail Drop Compass

Item #HIG0001 | 0 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Great in theory, but not built for the long haul

By Ranked #245 - Life Jackets and Safety Gear August 1, 2005

Really enjoyed having the Trail Drop for about 2-3 weeks, but it wasn't up to the punishment that you might expect that something built for the outdoors would need to endure. The manufacturer would do well to, at minimum, consider a cushioned case that the piece could fit in, so that it wouldn't be so easily rendered useless. Batteries are HARD to replace, too.
