🧭 Str8 Original Thumb Compass — Right Hand (Southern Hemisphere)

The gold standard for elite orienteering and race navigation

The Str8 Original RH is the compass that set a new benchmark for competition navigation. Designed by a lifelong orienteering family and engineered for speed, stability and precision, this Southern Hemisphere thumb compass delivers unmatched performance for serious orienteers, rogainers and adventure racers.

Compatible with the Str8 M Magnifier (Right Hand), it forms a complete professional navigation system.

🏃 Designed for Absolute Control at Speed

Every detail of the Str8 Original is tuned for race performance:

• Adjustable thumb angle (±20°) — customise fit for comfort and perfect map alignment

• Full-length 95 mm main pointer — extended sight line for ultra-precise bearings

• 5 mm offset capsule — lifts the needle above the map for clear visibility

• Exact positioning tip — pinpoint direction control for control sites and attack points

This creates a fast, fluid, intuitive navigation experience while running.

🧲 Ultra-Stable, Ultra-Fast Needle

Str8’s needle system is engineered for elite performance:

• Low-drag design (0.04 drag coefficient)

• Instant settling

• Minimal oscillation

• Rock-solid directional stability

Even at full race pace, the needle stays where it should — pointing you exactly where to go.

🛡️ Built for Competitive Conditions

The Str8 Original is made from race-grade materials:

• 5 mm high-clarity acrylic body — outstanding strength-to-weight ratio

• Anti-slip silicone map gripper — keeps the compass locked to the map

• Two thumb straps included — adjust for comfort and stability

• Integrated magnifier mounts — designed to fit the Str8 M Magnifier perfectly

This is serious navigation equipment — not recreational plastic.
