Good kit you can’t get any more

Alas, my Suunto M5 compass has developed nasty bubbles in it and needs to go away to Finland for repair.

This compass is/was far superior to the Silva Type 4 which is much loved by most mountain professionals. The M5 has a large chunky bessel for gloved hands, a large baseplate and graduations and numbers on the housing that don’t rub off. The only problem is they don’t make it anymore, and mine has large bubbles in it. Maybe not so good, then!
