Compass Spares & Accessories for Orienteering Compasses
Keeping your compass in good condition helps ensure accurate navigation and extends the life of your equipment. Our range of compass spares and accessories includes replacement thumb straps, wrist straps and specialist replacement components for selected models.
At Compass Point, we stock genuine parts from trusted brands including Silva, OrientSport and X-Compass. Whether you’re replacing a worn strap on a thumb compass or maintaining a competition model, using the correct replacement parts helps keep your equipment performing at its best.
Replacing worn components is often a simple and cost-effective alternative to buying a completely new compass.
Choosing Compass Spares
The correct part depends on the make and model you own.
Many manufacturers offer replacement thumb straps and wrist straps that can be fitted in just a few minutes. These are ideal if the original has stretched, worn out or broken through regular use.
Some X-Compass models offer even greater flexibility thanks to their modular design. Depending on the model, components such as the capsule or frame can be replaced or upgraded, allowing you to repair or customise your equipment rather than replacing the entire unit.
Always check that the spare is compatible with your specific model before purchasing.
Why Replace Compass Parts?
A quality orienteering compass is designed to provide many years of reliable use.
In many cases, only one component becomes worn through regular training or competition. Replacing that part restores comfort and usability while helping reduce unnecessary waste and extending the life of your equipment.
For experienced orienteers, replacing individual components can also be an opportunity to refresh equipment before an important event without changing to a completely new one.
