Developed together with 2000 orienteers

The compasses in the Arc Jet and Spike Jet series have been developed together with 2,000 Swedish orienteers, the Swedish Orienteering Association and world star Tove Alexandersson, multiple world champion in orienteering. Countless hours of interviewing, development and testing have been invested so that you can take the lead! The result is completely new compasses with the innovative and unique Jet 2.0 needle.

“I want a compass that is fast, fast and stable but also fits well in the hand. The compass should help me focus only on the information I need to get to the control as quickly as possible," says Tove Alexandersson about the new Arc Jet and Spike Jet compass series.

Jet 2.0 needle
The updated Jet needle is a perfect balance between speed and stability and was developed in close collaboration with Tove. The materials and weight of the needle are carefully tested to give you a winning combination along the course.

The ultimate orientation compass
Our product developers at Silva have gained in-depth knowledge of orienteering's ultimate compass through a survey conducted by the Swedish Orienteering Association. The responses from the survey have led to the new compasses being designed with an ergonomic wing – an arc – and also a removable thumb grip. The ultimate compass is fast and stable with details to suit many different hands and preferences. The new Arc Jet and Spike Jet compasses are all that!
