Ritchie SportAbout Handbearing Compass X-11Y, 2” Dial

Description

The Ritchie SportAbout X-11Y Compass is a rugged, pocket-sized navigation tool designed for sailors, kayakers, hikers, and outdoor adventurers who need reliable direction-finding in all conditions. Compact and lightweight, it combines Ritchie’s trusted marine-grade compass technology with a wearable, hands-free design that’s always ready when you need it.

Featuring a 2-inch direct-reading dial, the SportAbout delivers quick, clear headings at a glance. The dial is equipped with a high-visibility yellow housing and bold black card markings, ensuring excellent readability even in low-light or overcast conditions. Built with Ritchie’s compensated jewel-and-pivot movement, it provides smooth, accurate, and fast response — essential when navigating on the move.

The X-11Y is equipped with a long, adjustable lanyard, allowing you to wear it around your neck, secure it to a pack, or tether it to a kayak deck line. Its waterproof construction and shock-resistant casing mean it can withstand knocks, splashes, and exposure to the elements without losing accuracy.

Unlike basic hiking compasses, the SportAbout X-11Y is engineered to the same high standards as Ritchie’s marine compasses, giving you professional-grade reliability in a compact portable form. Whether you’re using it as a backup to electronic navigation or as your primary compass on the trail, it offers the confidence that comes from a trusted brand.
