The Silva 4 Militaire is practically the same as the Expedition 4, but graduated in miles rather than degrees as favoured by the armed forces. It features a full-sized base plate, magnifier and rubber feet for precision map work. Specifically designed for use by the British military, the base plate features 1:25k, 1:50k and 1:40k roamer scales, as well as centimetre and inch rulers. The needle and cardinal points feature a luminous compound which is activated by daylight and will maintain brightness for up to 4 hours in darkness. The Militaire 4 is a classic compass used by NATO forces around the world.

The Silva Expedition 4 is an advanced compass for serious navigation and high levels of accuracy. Primarily used by rescue workers and outdoor enthusiasts on demanding trips, the Expedition 4 offers everything you need in a compass to navigate advanced and precise techniques. It also features a handy map magnifier and Romer scaled suitable for 1:25, 40 and 50,000 grids. Thanks to its luminous markings it is possible to use for night navigation as well.

Meindl SportWax has been specifically designed for use with nubuck leather. It will help to condition and keep the leather supple, in turn preventing it from cracking or drying. The leather will lose the brushed nubuck effect and darken, but treatment will improve water-resistance. Water-resistance will be further improved with the use of Wet Proof, particularly in soft leather areas, e.g. the tongue gusset on the Meindl Borneo.
