Brunton has been making compasses since 1894 but they’ve never offered a mil-spec, tritium-filled compass, until now.
Coming in 2025, their new Lensatic Compass features a needle which settles 30% faster than the current compass and a durable bezel which will continue to click throughout the life of the compass.
Although their pouch is similar to the current issue model, which is based on an M-1956 design, carried on through ALICE, this new version is PALS compatible.
On a final note, although it has been in Montana for over half a century, Brunton was owned by various Scandinavian businesses for many years. About two years ago, Brunton became a woman-owned, geologist-owned, family small business.
