KANPAS MA-45-FS Fast thumb compass

The KanPas MA-45-FS Fast is designed for orienteers who demand maximum speed and instant response from the needle. The large 45 mm needle case and the sensitive damping of the Fast series make this compass the perfect companion for fast and technical competitive orienteering.

The rotating needle case allows for precise direction finding, and the large size ensures excellent readability even at high speeds. You can choose the scale that suits your style of compass from three different options:

Selectable needle case options:

• Clear: Completely clear and minimalist case. Provides an unobstructed view of the map under the needle, removing all unnecessary visual distractions.
• Degree: Traditional 0–360° scale. The optimal choice for technical orienteers who value precise direction finding and number-based navigation.
• Rainbow: Color-coded visual scale. Makes it easier to quickly visualize and remember the direction using colors, which speeds up reaction times at checkpoints.

Key product benefits:

• Fast needle technology: Extremely sensitive and fast needle that immediately points north, allowing you to check the direction at a glance.
• Rotating 45 mm needle case: The large case size improves visual accuracy, and the rubber edge ensures a secure grip when turning the case in all weather conditions.
• Maximum ergonomics: The bright and durable base plate is shaped to fit naturally on the thumb, leaving the map reading area as free as possible.
• Reliable fastening: The adjustable and flexible KanPas thumb strap keeps the compass firmly in place throughout the entire run.
