Str8 comes from an Australian family with three generations of active orienteers. Founder Warren Key wanted to combine the strengths of the baseplate compass and the thumb compass. He designed Str8 to reflect how modern orienteers navigate.
Str8 focuses purely on thumb compasses and magnifiers built for orienteering. The brand tests every needle for the right balance of speed and stability. This focus lets Str8 refine the details that matter most to competitive orienteers.
At Compass Point, we stock Str8 for orienteers who want a compass designed specifically for the sport, by people who compete in it themselves.
