I'm looking at compasses again and have it narrowed down to 3: Recta DS 50, Suunto MC2G, Brunton Truarc 15. All hang around the $40-50 mark.

I'm kind of leaning toward the Brunton Truarc 15 because it has the same features as the other 2 plus a couple of other things I like - luminous markings, user friendly map scales, clinometer. I also like that it is made in USA - Riverton, WY to be exact.

I'm looking for input from the guys that use these type of devices every day and have the experience to opine thusly. Anyone have any opinions on these 3 - or other good compass options?

Thanks.
