Comments about Iris 50 Hand Bearing Compass:
I use this compass on my sea kayak and fishing boat, and also find it great for hiking.
It is easy to use, and the 1 degree graduations yield better accuracy.
One shot with a flashlight, and it is good for a while, Just close your eyes when you flash it, and your night vision is safe.
