Making compass navigation easier
A compass is great for navigation, but only if you consult it often. That's not easy when it's hanging around your neck, or in a pocket - especially if both your hands are full of trekking poles, or are encased in gloves.
The Compass Caddy is a lightweight, easy-to-use plastic clip that attaches your compass to your trekking pole. It keeps your compass ready to hand when you need it, and out of the way when you don't.
The Caddy is designed to benefit hikers, trekkers, backpackers, orienteers, backcountry skiers - anybody who uses poles, and needs to navigate with a compass.
Simple to use, multiple benefits
- Your compass is instantly accessible - not tucked away
- It fits the majority of compasses and poles
- It's great for walking on a bearing - no need to put your poles away
- You can use the pole as a pointing device to help you navigate
- It's quick and easy to use - clip on, clip off
Coming soon
We're working hard to get the Caddy into production as soon as possible. You can help us to do that by spreading the word in three easy ways - thank you:

Instantly visible
Your compass is secured, ready to hand, just below the handle of your pole. Checking it is as easy as looking at your wristwatch.

Easy to use
The Compass Caddy is designed to hold a compass securely to a pole, but makes it easy to remove the compass to use with a map.

Universal fit
Most commonly available baseplate compasses and walking/trekking poles are compatible with the Compass Caddy.
