IT'S A COMPASS CASE...BY SILVA

It holds the compass securely and can be attached to belts or straps.
Not a hard case, so not bomb-proof
No secure mounting system.
The velcro weakens with age, and can be accidentally opened, leading to possible loss of compass.
It does what it does, but is long overdue a revamp
If you must use one, treat it with care, secure it to your kit with a carabiner, and secure the compass to the carabiner as well, otherwise it could disappear.

DOES IT'S JOB.

Keeps your compass safe and warm.
None.
I keep compass, pointers and protractor in mine. It straps to the chest strap on my rucksack, with the lanyard also connected to the compass pouch via a toy carabiner. Always ready for use, in the right place, but out of my way when I don't need it.

ITS ALRIGHT I GUESS...

Saves the lifeline dangling abut, and makes you look like a hardcore matie on the hills, instead of some scuzzy DofE reject.
The straps on the back are really hard to try and configure with the ones on my pack strap.
Does its job without all the bells and whistles
