Minimalist Map Case | Medium
40% lighter than Silva’s standard map case
Ideal for orienteering, fell running, or any other adventure where you need to move fast and can't rely on GPS, this lightweight map case from Silva will stop your OS sheets turning to pulp when the weather turns sour. At 61g, it's 40% lighter than Silva's standard waterproof map case – with a simple zip-lock closure and a red elastic cord with Duraflex cord stopper. You can attach it to your backpack or kayak, and it's also suitable for winter use – with a 0.2mm TPU/PU material that'll remain flexible down to -20 degrees. As an added bonus, it's also touchscreen compatible, so you can combine traditional and electronic navigation options to make sure you stay on track in all weathers.

It’s a bit of a cliché to say, ‘this brand needs no introduction…’, but sometimes it really doesn’t. If you ever did scouts, guides or cadets, got epic blisters on a D of E expedition or went on an outward bounds residential, chances are you did it with a Silva compass in the pocket of your boil-in-the-bag cagoule.
Like so many world-changing inventions, the Silva compass began as a problem that needed solving. Back in the day, your standard compass wobbled all over the shop, making it tricky and time-consuming to get a decent reading. That is, until 1933, when four Swedes invented a liquid-filled compass. The resistance from the fluid slowed and stabilised the needle, meaning you could nail a reliable bearing in seconds. Navigation was never the same again.
But iconic as the compasses are, they’re only one part of the Silva story. They were one of the first companies to make reliable electric head torches for the outdoors, and they’ve also branched out into optics, trekking kit and other navigational gear. Tried and tested for the better part of a century, Silva’s precision instruments have literally been the difference between life and death for generations of outdoor adventurers – and as brand pedigree goes, that’s pretty much impossible to beat.
