Brunton Eclipse 8099 Compass Review

Brunton made the Eclipse 8099 Compass for serious backcountry travelers who need a tool for days where a little mistake in navigation can have major consequences. A couple degrees off and you could end up in the wrong couloir which leads to the wrong valley which leads to a road ten miles from where you parked. Yeah, that would be a bummer. With an adjustable declination, magnified readout, sighting mirror, and even field reference cards, the Brunton Eclipse 8099 Compass keeps you right on track.
