Brunton

Not all trails are clearly marked with cairns. Not all campsites have frills like fire pits and roads leading to them. Sometimes you have to rely on a compass to paddle a path across a vast body of water or bushwack through thick undergrowth to reach your destination. Wherever your journey takes you, Brunton’s navigational instruments help you find the way.

The company has been handmaking professional-grade compasses since 1894 when geologist and mining engineer D.W. Brunton sought out a skilled watch repairman to build his legendary Pocket Transit compass. Brunton’s invention was far smaller than any of the bulky equipment available at that time, making him a minimalist long before it became an outdoor buzzword.

Today the company manufactures a variety of precision instruments to make your outdoor adventures safer. Use Brunton’s weather tracking tools to decide if the timing is right to make a summit bid when the sky looks ominous or a monocular to observe wildlife from a decent distance and get a crisp, clear view of those velvety antlers in the early spring. The Brunton name is synonymous with accuracy, durability and dependability.
