That's an interesting ship/bird/aeroplane over there, isn't it? Wouldn't it be nice if you had your binoculars with you? Only, the thing about binoculars is that you usually don't have them with you because even little ones don't fit easily in a pocket. This compact 7x monocular, however, is a different matter. At just 7.5cm long and weighing 46g, there's no excuse not to have it handy. And for something so diddy, the optics are seriously impressive, with top-quality Bak-4 glass, an 18mm lens and a 147m field of view for fast-moving objects. Quick to focus, you can also get great detail on close-up objects. It's got a tactile rubberised grip, plus a wrist strap and carrying case so you need never be without it.

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.
