Plastimo Offshore 55 Kayak Compass

Navigate with confidence on every paddle. The Plastimo Offshore 55 Kayak is a compact, high-contrast marine compass purpose-built for sea kayaking, delivering fast, stable heading readings you can trust in rough water, bright sun or low light. Its shock‑absorbing bracket and included elastic cords with hooks make installation on kayak lifelines quick and tool‑light, while the watertight construction and UV‑resistant materials ensure long‑term durability in salt, spray and sun. Choose a proven, low‑maintenance navigation aid that keeps you oriented when GPS batteries fade and smartphones get wet.
