Magnetic South Emergency Button Compass
The SSA Magnetic South Emergency Button Compass is a compact backup navigation tool designed specifically for use in the Southern Hemisphere. Lightweight and easy to carry, it is ideal for survival kits, bug-out bags, hiking packs, emergency kits and everyday outdoor preparedness.
Unlike standard Northern Hemisphere button compasses, this model is balanced for the Southern Hemisphere, helping the compass needle remain responsive and stable when used throughout Australia.
A powerful internal magnet provides positive needle alignment, while the liquid-filled capsule helps dampen movement for faster, easier direction reading. The compass also features glow-in-the-dark markings, making it easier to locate and read in low-light conditions after exposure to a light source.
Compact enough to keep as a secondary or emergency compass, it provides a simple means of establishing direction when travelling, hiking, camping or dealing with an unexpected situation in the Australian outdoors.
