Silva Compasses and Torches
Premium compasses since 1933. The Silva Compass is known for Accurate, Reliable and Fast needles. Perfect for Orienteering, Marine and Outdoor activities
In 1933, a mere 14 years after modern orienteering became a competitive sport, three entrepreneurial Swedish orienteering champions invented the liquid-filled compass. Their solution was more precise and easier to use than other compasses at the time. The SILVA brand was born. Early on, the scene was set for innovation in diverse outdoor sport areas with the launch of the first Silva headlamp in 1935. A lot has changed since then, but Silva compasses remain the preferred choice for orienteers and outdoor enthusiasts around the world.
