Arc Jet S is a high-performance thumb compass designed for orienteers who want the Spectra speed dial graphics on the capsule, combined with fast and stable navigation. The Spectra pattern with numbers and reference markings simplifies orienteering, while the Silva Jet 2.0 needle delivers unmatched needle speed and settling time. This compass is available for both right- and left-hand use.
Arc Jet S is developed for running orienteering, where speed and precision are essential. The Spectra speed dial graphics help maintain the correct direction at high pace, while the Arc wing design provides extra support and stability against the hand. Direct thumb contact with the map ensures control during fast direction changes.
The baseplate features a unique cut-out design that ensures perfect contact between thumb and map. It also includes an attachable thumb plate for those who prefer a more classic thumb grip. The thumb grip is adjustable, and the compass comes with two thumb bands – one soft and one firm – both rubberized on the inside for optimal friction.
Arc Jet S is built around the Silva Jet 2.0 needle, known for its high speed and stability even while moving. The durable construction is designed for demanding orienteering and includes a friction element to help keep the map stable while running. This compass has been tested and approved by Tove Alexandersson.
Combine Arc Jet S with the Arc Zoom magnifier (optional accessory) for faster and more accurate map reading. The magnifier attaches easily to the baseplate and integrates seamlessly with the compass – perfect when every detail matters.
