{"product_id":"silva-ranger-2-compass","title":"Silva Ranger 2.0 Compass","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Silva Ranger 2.0 is a baseplate mirror compass built for camping, hiking, and land navigation, offering mirror sighting, a magnetic declination adjuster, and luminous markings for use in low-light conditions. It is available in one configuration and ships with a detachable distance lanyard and slope card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Accurate Land Navigation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Silva Ranger 2.0 Compass combines mirror sighting with a dedicated sighting hole, allowing the user to align a distant landmark in the mirror while simultaneously reading the bearing on the compass dial. This technique reduces the parallax error common with basic baseplate compasses and is particularly useful when navigating across open terrain where precision over long distances matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDeclination and Slope Adjustments in the Field\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ranger 2.0 includes a built-in magnetic declination adjuster, which lets the user set a fixed offset between magnetic north and true north for a given region. Once set, bearings read directly from the dial are already corrected, removing a common source of cumulative navigation error. The included slope card adds the ability to measure terrain gradient and calculate the extra distance traveled on inclined ground, a practical tool for route planning in hilly or mountainous areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow-Light Usability and Durable Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuminous markings on the Silva Ranger 2.0 remain readable in low-light and nighttime conditions without requiring a separate light source, supporting navigation during early morning starts or after-dark emergencies. The Ranger 2.0 is built to withstand rugged outdoor and environmental conditions. The detachable distance lanyard serves as a scale reference for map work across multiple map scales, keeping route measurement straightforward without additional tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMirror Sighting with Sighting Hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports accurate long-distance bearing acquisition by aligning a landmark in the mirror while reading the dial.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic Declination Adjuster:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in adjuster corrects for local magnetic declination, improving bearing accuracy across different geographic regions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlope Card:\u003c\/strong\u003e Measures terrain slope and calculates extra distance on inclined ground for more accurate route planning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetachable Distance Lanyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a scale reference compatible with various map scales for field route measurement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLuminous Markings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remain visible in low-light and nighttime conditions without an external light source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to withstand rugged outdoor and environmental conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSilva\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRanger 2.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.3 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSighting System\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMirror sighting with sighting hole\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDeclination Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in magnetic declination adjuster\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSlope card, detachable distance lanyard\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLuminous Markings\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eExport Restriction\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRestricted for export; cannot be sold for use in some countries outside the U.S.\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRTC-437\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Silva Ranger 2.0 suits hikers, campers, backpackers, and outdoor travelers who want a capable mirror compass with built-in declination correction and low-light readability. It is a practical choice for anyone navigating with a topographic map across varied terrain, including slopes where gradient measurement is useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis compass is not suited for buyers outside the United States who require an exportable navigation tool, as it carries export restrictions and cannot be sold for use in some countries outside the U.S. It is not a digital or GPS-based device and does not provide satellite positioning or electronic mapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the mirror sighting system on the Ranger 2.0 do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Silva Ranger 2.0's mirror sighting system lets the user align a distant landmark in the hinged mirror while reading the compass bearing on the dial at the same time. This reduces the error that occurs when a navigator has to shift their gaze between a target and the compass face, making long-distance bearing acquisition more accurate than with a standard baseplate compass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the magnetic declination adjuster work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Silva Ranger 2.0 includes a built-in adjuster that lets the user set a fixed offset for the local difference between magnetic north and true north. Once the declination for a given region is dialed in, bearings read from the compass are already corrected, so the user does not need to add or subtract a declination value mentally during navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the slope card used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe slope card included with the Silva Ranger 2.0 allows the user to measure the gradient of a slope and calculate the additional horizontal distance that inclined terrain adds to a route. This is useful when planning travel time and distance in hilly or mountainous terrain where a straight map measurement underestimates actual ground distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the Ranger 2.0 be used at night?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Silva Ranger 2.0 features luminous markings that remain readable in low-light and nighttime conditions without requiring a flashlight or other external light source. This makes the compass usable during early-morning departures, after-dark navigation, or emergency situations where lighting is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre there any purchase or shipping restrictions for this compass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Silva Ranger 2.0 Compass carries an export restriction and cannot be sold for use in some countries outside the United States.
