Brunton Eclipse 8099 Compass

Brunton Eclipse 8099 Compass description

Brunton made the Eclipse 8099 Compass for serious backcountry travelers who need a tool for days where a little mistake in navigation can have major consequences.

Bottom Line: Get where you need to be.

I've had other compasses that range within a degree or two every time I would sight them. This compass is right on. All the other frills and gadgets are nice, but without a rock-solid platform, the frills don't cut it. This compass is right on every time. The only down side is the clinometer, the marker on the back for setting it is not there. A small issue considering they have 3 variations of clinometer and the other two are not effected by this one over site. Not sure if this issue is unique to my compass or to all Eclipse 8099's. But overall, it does not diminish my appreciation for this compass.
