Overview
Not a plain carabiner, this aluminum clip also holds a ball compass and a thermometer. It is portable and clips onto a pack, parka or jacket.
The reason to buy is the two small instruments in one lightweight clip, useful for a quick heading or temperature check. The limitation is the size, which limits accuracy compared with a baseplate compass.
Who it's for
Day hikers, campers and kids on trails will like the two gauges on a zipper or pack strap. Navigators who rely on bearings, or climbers who need a rated clip, should use proper equipment.
Pros and cons
- Compass and thermometer
- One year warranty
- Small compass limits accuracy
- No load rating listed
- Included parts not detailed
Performance notes
A ball compass floats a magnetized card in fluid, so it settles quickly for a rough heading. The thermometer reads air temperature, and body heat on a jacket can skew it. Both are quick references, not precision tools.
