Featuring a sighting mirror, declination adjustment, clinometer, and durable composite construction, it ensures precise bearings in all conditions without batteries. Trusted for over 80 years, this Finnish-engineered compass is your ultimate partner for alpine skiing, trekking, mountain biking, and more. ## Description desertcart.com Hailing from Suunto's MC range of mirror compasses, the MC-2DLIN is an invaluable tool for people who value highly accurate and reliable directional measurements, such as surveyors, miners, architects, rescue patrols, hikers, boaters, and the military. The MC-2DLIN boasts a fixed declination adjustment system--standard throughout the range--that's especially useful when working in areas with large magnetic variation. The tool's additional sighting hole, meanwhile, ensures superior accuracy, as does the jewel bearing. Add in a mirrored lid, a baseplate with rubber nonslip feet, a clinometer that measures the ground slope, luminous points, and an easy-to-read bezel with self-cleaning bearings and you have a versatile, practical compass for a variety of applications. The MC-2DLIN employs Suunto's two-zone system to achieve precise, accurate readings regardless of location. Previously, most compasses functioned well in only one of five geographic zones. That's because the compasses were balanced differently based on the zone's inclination, i.e., the vertical intensity and direction of the Earth's magnetic field. However, as people began to travel more, it became clear that globe-hopping adventurers needed compasses with a greater geographical range. Suunto's two-zone system, by contrast, considers only the northern and southern hemispheres. In practice, this means that a Suunto compass designed for the northern hemisphere--as the MC-2DLIN is--will still work for a fair distance into the southern hemisphere and vice-versa. Suunto is one of only two compass manufacturers to offer two-zone compasses. The MC-2DLIN, which also sports a lanyard for around-the-neck use, measures 2.5 by 0.6 by 3.9 inches (W x H x D) with the lid closed and weighs a mere 2.65 ounces. It's also backed by a lifetime warranty. Product Description The MC 2 Pro Compass is made with the top of the line features for precise directional measurements. The most advanced navigation compass for serious hikers, backpackers, skiers, etc. When venturing out into new territory, these sighting compasses offer precision navigation with a variety of carefully engineered and dependable features for challenging conditions. Make navigating easy and never get lost with the MC 2 Pro Compass, the perfect gift for those that love to hike. Review: good compass for not getting lost. - The Suunto MC-2 is easily one of the best compasses I’ve used. It’s built like a serious navigation tool, not a cheap backup piece. Everything about it feels precise and dependable, from the smooth needle movement to the solid construction. The mirror sighting feature is a game changer for accuracy. It lets you line up bearings with real confidence, especially when navigating longer distances. The adjustable declination is another huge plus it makes it easy to dial things in correctly without constantly doing mental math. Review: Much better than many others I tried. - Other members of our SAR teams in the county use this one, but we cheaped out at first and tried less expensive ones (from $5-18)...all of which failed either accuracy or function requirements. Between us and a few others, we compared about a dozen different mfrs and the Suunto always came out on top for reliability, accuracy, ease of use, and features. I really like the declination adjustment as it makes it easy to set our 11 deg once and not have to do the math on every azmuth we shoot. The MC-2 not only works reliably, it have other design features which made spending the money a no brainer. It's a lot lighter than my old military-style, lenzatic compass I was using. I used mine in low-light conditions practicing land-nav and the glow-in-the-dark portions of the compass which needed to glow, stood out very well, but needed to be saturated with light regularly, but I don't see that being something we will need much. If you are trying to decide about spending the money or not, to me, I say don't waste time, or money with the others. The couple other brands which passed the requirements for our SAR teams, still had minor things wbout them which put them down on the list of which one would I buy again, knowing what I know now. Lastly, I like how there is a Northern Hemishpere option and the different scale choices so I was able to get the model which best fit our needs. I did end up using a eyeglass screwdriver to adjust the declination as I didn't much like the little tool on the lanyard provided, but it is there for those who don't mind the 'fishing lure' tool. Come to think of it, it might work pretty good in my emergency wilderness kit, as a fishing lure! ## Features - Advanced Navigational Compass: Made with serious hikers in mind, this professional mirror compass was designed for precise directional measurement and has been balanced for global use with Metric UTM scales and inch ruler - Precise And Dependable: Operable in low light conditions, the MC-2 Compass includes a sighting hole and notch for accurate bearings, declination adjustment tool, and a clinometer - Stay On Course: Made in Finland, Suunto mechanical compasses help you safely and accurately navigate the great outdoors; Great for Alpine skiing, hiking, trekking, mountain biking, trail running and more - Pioneering Exploration: Combining advanced engineering and thoughtful design with ultra durable materials, our adventure ready compasses are fast, stable, and simple to use; No batteries required - Authentic Heritage: Founded in 1936, Suunto brings over 80 years of high quality heritage craftsmanship, relentless accuracy, and pioneering innovation to our watches, compasses, and dive products ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00009V2YO | | Additional Features | Compact mirrored compass, Employs Suunto's two-zone system, Fixed declination adjustment system, Lanyard with wrist lock | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,313 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #8 in Compasses (Sports & Outdoors) | | Brand | SUUNTO | | Brand Name | SUUNTO | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,485 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00045235301010 | | Included Components | compass | | Item Dimensions L x W | 4.98"L x 1.71"W | | Item Type Name | compass | | Item Weight | 4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Suunto | | Manufacturer Part Number | 9001677 | | Material | Composite | | Material Type | Composite | | Model Number | SS004239001 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 4.98"L x 1.71"W | | Special Feature | Compact mirrored compass, Employs Suunto's two-zone system, Fixed declination adjustment system, Lanyard with wrist lock Special Feature Compact mirrored compass, Employs Suunto's two-zone system, Fixed declination adjustment system, Lanyard with wrist lock See more | | UPC | 045235301010 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SUUNTO - **Item Weight:** 4 ounces - **Material:** Composite - **Product Dimensions:** 4.98"L x 1.71"W ## Images ![MC-2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xU9LlyJoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Configuration, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: You have two pictures of this compass shown. One is $57.65 and the other is $48.54. Both have the same product description. What is the difference?** A: As someone who just purchased the "Suunto MC-2G In Global Compass" according to this description, please note that as you compare the version colors. The $38.65 "Suunto MC-2G In Global Compass" (according to the product title) was actually a northern hemisphere only compass- not a global. The color called it, "NH USGS Mirror Compass" and the other color options included, "Black", "G Mirror Compass", and "USGS Mirror Compass" - all listed under the MC-2G title. So the sellers are probably selling the compass in the incorrect product title. Still a good deal if you're ok with a northern hemisphere model. **Q: Can I use the mirror as a signal mirror to call for help? Can I use it for shaving?** A: Yes on both. It will be a challenge for shaving since mirror is approx 2 3/8 in (l-r) x 2 11/16 in (t-b). If laying horizontal exchange measurements. **Q: Is this the metric version, or the inch and mile version?** A: The inch/mile version. It has one scale of 1:24,000 (one inch = 24,000 inches; about 2,000 ft.) and one scale of 1:62,500 (one inch = 62,500 inches; about one mile). It also has a third scale, 3" long, graduated in 1/20 of an inch. Excellent quality, but grossly overpriced IMHO. **Q: I am looking for the best compass you can get for your money and was wondering what you would recommend?** A: We took a class on orienteering before we bought our MC-2DLIN. We trained and used this compass. The instructor had recommended several GPS and other compasses to use. My limited experience with a compass made the class very interesting. We actually used this compass in the woods. I would say, as an amateur, that it is a very good compass for the money. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good compass for not getting lost. *by C***Y on April 11, 2026* The Suunto MC-2 is easily one of the best compasses I’ve used.
