SILVA COMPASSES for Adventurers & Orienteers
In 1933, Björn, Alvar and Arvid Kjellström invented the first liquid-filled compass. Not only was it the first compass with this technology, it also set a global standard for how navigation equipment works. That was when Silva as a brand was born. Thanks to a protractor in the base plate and the liquid that slowed down the needle, their invention enabled faster reading of maps with a compass. In just 4 seconds, you had your direction clear, unlike the 30 seconds it took with older models. A few years later, more precisely in 1935, the business area was broadened with a new invention, namely the Zeiler headlamp.
Today they focus on three main areas for their products; sports, adventure and professional use. The products are developed and improved on an ongoing basis, all so that you can enjoy quality products and experience tomorrow's adventures.
