Silva

Silva – Precise navigation and powerful light for any terrain

When darkness falls or fog rolls in over the field, your gear is the difference between finding your way and getting lost. Silva is known for uncompromising quality and has for decades been a preferred choice for elite soldiers, hunters and professional adventurers. We carry Silva because their gear is built to be used – whether you are navigating by the stars or need clear light on the trail.

Silva compasses: Reliable navigation

A Silva compass is more than just an instrument; it is a life insurance policy in your backpack:

• Liquid-filled precision: Silva compasses are known for their stable needle, which finds north quickly, even when you are on the move.

• Durability: They are made from scratch-resistant acrylic and designed to withstand extreme temperatures and knocks.

• Smart features: Many models have a built-in magnifier, luminous markings for night navigation and scales that match both military and civilian maps.

Head torches: See everything, whatever the weather

Silva head torches are made for activity. They are light, robust and feature Silva's own "Intelligent Light" technology:

1. Intelligent Light: This technology combines a focused long-range beam with a wide close-range light. It gives you a better overview and reduces the need to keep turning your head.

2. Water resistance: Silva lights are built for the Nordic climate. They handle both downpours and sleet, so you can use them with confidence alongside your Ocean rainwear.

3. Ergonomic fit: With wide, non-slip headbands the light stays put, whether you are running through the terrain or wearing it over your Pentagon cap.

Care and maintenance of your Silva gear

To make sure your navigation and lighting are always ready, we recommend:

• Battery check: Change batteries regularly, or make sure your rechargeable head torch is fully charged before the trip. We recommend quality batteries from PK Cell.

• Avoid magnetism: Keep your compass away from knives, mobile phones and speakers, as strong magnetic fields can affect the needle's accuracy over time.

• Cleaning: Rinse your head torch and strap in fresh water if it has been exposed to salt water or a lot of mud. You will find everything you need in our cleaning and maintenance collection.
