Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass

The Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass is a zinc alloy navigation compass built for hikers, survivalists, and outdoor explorers who need reliable directional readings in varied conditions. It includes a fluorescent green north arrow, 360-degree circular scale, inclination scale, side ruler, magnifier, and built-in level in a single compact unit. Available in Black and Olive Drab.

Built to Handle Outdoor Conditions

The Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass is housed in a zinc alloy case, a dense metal construction that resists the knocks and exposure common to field use. A metal case also holds calibration better than plastic alternatives over repeated use, which matters when you are relying on a reading to confirm your bearing.

Readable When Light Is Low

The north arrow on the Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass is fluorescent green, which improves visibility in dim or low-light conditions without requiring a battery or separate light source. The 360-degree circular scale is paired with an inclination scale, giving you both compass bearing and slope angle from the same instrument, which is useful when reading topographic maps in the field.

Map Work Built In

A side ruler on the Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass is designed to work directly against a map's printed scale, so you can measure route distances without a separate tool. The integrated magnifier supports detailed reading of fine map print. The built-in level helps confirm the compass is sitting flat before you take a reading, a small detail that meaningfully improves accuracy on uneven ground.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass suits hikers, survivalists, campers, and outdoor explorers who want a multi-function analog compass for map-and-compass navigation. The combination of bearing scale, inclination scale, ruler, magnifier, and level makes it a capable general-purpose field compass for land navigation.

This compass is not a digital or GPS navigation device and does not provide coordinates, route tracking, or electronic mapping. It is not rated for marine or aviation navigation use. Buyers who need a dedicated baseplate orienteering compass or a lensatic military compass will find this a different form factor from those instruments.

Common Questions

What is the case made of on the Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass?

The Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass is housed in a zinc alloy case. Zinc alloy is a dense metal that resists impact and outdoor exposure, making it more durable in field conditions than a plastic housing would be.

Does the compass work in low light or at night?

The Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass features a fluorescent green north arrow that improves readability in low-light conditions. No battery or external light source is required for the arrow to be visible in dim environments.

What does the inclination scale do?

The inclination scale on the Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass measures the angle of a slope. Used alongside a topographic map, it helps you assess terrain grade along a planned route, which is a useful reference when navigating hilly or mountainous terrain on foot.

Can I use this compass to measure distances on a map?

Yes. The Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass includes a side ruler designed to work against a map's printed scale, letting you measure route distances directly on the map without a separate measuring tool. The integrated magnifier also helps with reading fine map detail.

What colors is the Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass available in?

The Rothco Deluxe Marching Compass is available in two colors: Black (SKU RTC-14061) and Olive Drab (SKU RTC-14060). Both variants weigh 0.63 lb and share the same feature set.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise

When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.

1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry

Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.

We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.

2. Best price, guaranteed

If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.

Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.

3. Free fitment consultation

Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.

4. Trusted by thousands of customers

Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

Price Match Guarantee — Terms

  • You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
  • Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
  • The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
  • The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
  • The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
  • The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
  • Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
