I had a Suunto Clipper I kept in my pocket. I was hiking along the south rim of the Grand Canyon on a 10 mile hike with our Boy Scout Troop. The exertion was making me clumsy. I kept dropping it and it would pop apart. My solution was to get a Suunto Comet and use a piece of thin black cord and loop it around a belt loop and tuck it in the watch pocket of my jeans. Now I just pull on the cord and the compass pops into my hand. I can't drop it and it is always at hand. I got a glow in the dark version to maximize its utility. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

If you aways have a mini compass in your pocket you don't need one you can lose in your PSK. I keep a full size Brunton 3DLU in my PSK. I might replace it with my mirrored 16DLU if I decide it is really better.
