A mini compass does not need to be just a neat looking accessory with zero function, the Suunto Clipper is an actually functional clip-on mini compass complete with an actual bezel, a detail often not found in competing models. Attaches pretty much anywhere and weighs next to nothing, making the Clipper a perfect backup or EDC piece.

- Clips to watch strap, sleeve, strap of backpack, side of map etc.
- A fun, supercompact aid for underwater navigation
- Suunto limited lifetime warranty

The Thing with the Clipper is the clip, a solid mounting system that slides over any up to 20 mm wide piece of webbing or similar mounting surface and clips into place. Unfortunately, the Clipper does not fit the common 25 mm / 1" webbing used on most modern military gear.
Thanks to its bezel the Clipper can actually be used for orienteering, not just for finding north. The bezel makes it possible to use the Clipper just like a "real compass", further adding to its value as a backup or even main compass. Naturally, the Clipper is not nor will it ever be as good as an actual orienteering compass, but it works and most importantly takes up almost zero space in your kit.
Made in Finland by Suunto.
