Review on 🧭 SUUNTO A-30 Compass: Your Perfect Recreational Hiking Companion with Luminescent Markings for Low Light Conditions by Chris Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I almost got killed!

I bought a Sunto A-30 in 2018. I have some compasses. I took it to the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness Area in Arizona's Yuma Desert (Northern Sonoran Desert) in February 2019, a vast area of desert scrub and mountains with no groundwater. One evening while traveling with this compass I got lost. A few hours later I was lucky enough to find the base camp. When I got back to my car, I tested it with my other analog compass, my iPhone and iPad. The arrow on the SUNTO a-30 has been moved to SW, not N! No wonder I got lost. I crushed the compass with my stick so no one else can use it. It may have just been my problem, but be sure to triple-check.
