🧭 Str8 KOMPAKT Thumb Compass — Left Hand (Southern Hemisphere)

Elite performance in a compact, race-ready design

The Str8 Kompakt LH is a high-performance thumb compass designed for navigators who want the precision of the Str8 Original — in a smaller, lighter and more ergonomic profile. Built specifically for left-hand use and balanced for the Southern Hemisphere, this is a competition-grade compass optimised for smaller hands, faster map contact and ultra-precise navigation.

Compatible with the Str8 M Magnifier (Left), the Kompakt delivers professional-level accuracy in a streamlined race package.

🏃 Built for Speed & Precision

The Str8 Kompakt isn’t just smaller — it’s smarter.

• Compact ergonomic body improves map feel and control

• Shorter thumb reach allows faster, more natural map handling

• Adjustable thumb angle (±20°) lets you fine-tune the fit to your grip and style

• Offset capsule (6 mm) keeps the needle clear of the map for better visibility

It’s designed to disappear in your hand — letting you focus entirely on the terrain and the route.

🧲 World-Class Needle Performance

The Kompakt uses the same needle technology as the legendary Str8 Original:

• Low-resistance technology needle

• Ultra-fast settling and rock-solid stability

• Full-view 83 mm main pointer

• Twin outside pointers for line-of-sight alignment

This gives you instant directional feedback even while running at speed.

🛡️ Built for the Demands of Competition

Str8 compasses are engineered for elite orienteering and adventure racing:

• Aluminium capsule protector (5 mm) — shields the needle and capsule from impact

• Ultra-clear, high-strength body — maximum visibility with race-grade durability

• Two anti-slip map gripper straps — soft touch, firm hold, zero slip

• Secure 3-point magnifier mount — designed to lock perfectly with the Str8 M Magnifier

This is a tool built to survive hard racing and intense training.

🌏 Southern Hemisphere Accuracy

This model is MS (Magnetic South) balanced for:

• Australia

• New Zealand

• Southern Hemisphere magnetic zones

The needle remains flat, stable and precise — something Northern Hemisphere compasses cannot do here.
