Comments about REI Thermo-O-Compass:

A neat gadget, but the fluid in the thermometer separated and the compass capsule developed a bubble over time, making both inaccurate. More of a novelty than serious equipment.

Compass doesn't work

Best Uses

Comments about REI Thermo-O-Compass:

Thermometer seemed to work fine, but the compass was almost useless. It had no problem pointing to my pocket knife, but even when isolated from that it never pointed north consistently. The dial gets stuck easily, and you have to balance the thing just right to have it work - but even then it's unreliable. Get a real compass.

Comments about REI Thermo-O-Compass:

I bought 3 of these for stocking stuffers for my adult children and adult wife. Recipients attached them to zipper tabs on parkas. Within 3 months all of them had fallen apart. The small size made them hard to read during the short period that they worked.

Comments about REI Thermo-O-Compass:

I have been wanting both a compass and a thermometer to keep with me at all times. So when I saw this, I gave it a shot. I have a cheap-o brand compass from a bigbox store that actually works, so I assumed the REI cheap-o would as well. I was wrong. Unfortunately the compass wasnt so great and the thermometer wouldnt drop below 50-55 degrees. (Frozen water bottle was a dead give-away that it was a tad colder than 55)

Comments about REI Thermo-O-Compass:

Holds direction. Within a few degrees of precise temperature. I'd get a better compass for serious navigation but it's handy to keep clipped on my life jacket while in the kayaking.

Comments about REI Thermo-O-Compass:

This is not worth any amount of money. Had it out this weekend at 9F and it was reading 32F. Never wavered as the temp climbed to 18F. Compass is just a bad, it is off by 20-30 degrees. But it works as a large zipper pull!! I would give it less thatn one star if I could.

Basically purchased it for the thermometer, in plain and simply words, it was a waste of money. REI usually distributes reliable produts, but this one fails terribly. The compass passes.
