I purchased this as a lightweight hiking nut to replace my heavier compass, especially since it is only for backup if my Garmin ever dies on me while in the wilderness. The construction quality is great and it seems to be very accurate. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating was that the lanyard was not long enough after tying a knot in the end to allow it to go over my head so I could wear it around my neck. The lanyard is very thin and lightweight which help keep the total weight down to just 9 grams! Do no forget to melt the ends of the nylon lanyard to avoid fraying over time since this may weaken the already thin lanyard. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to keep pack weight down but wants an accurate compass.
