Silva's competition sized (30 cm) orienteering flag includes a diagonal reflective stripe to make it ideal for night orienteering, in addition to use in regular daytime events. The flag comes with a cord and snap hook attached for easy hanging. This is our sturdiest flag option.
Silva punches are sold in set of 10. There are two pattern sets, series A and series B. Punches come with a cord to attach them to a flag, and also with holes in the base to permantly attach them to an orienteering control post.
Please note that these punches are not made to withstand the weather for multiple years. While some organizations do purchase them for permanent courses and leave them out, we find that the punches need to be replaced after one or two years.
Silva's 15 cm flag has a reflective diagonal stripe for great visibility for night orienteering. The smaller size is popular for training, park and urban events, and school orienteering kits. The flag comes with a cord and snap hook attached for easy hanging.
The Silva Map Measurer Path is a traditional analog tool to measure distance on a map. It shows 8 different scales (4 on each side) for maps of 1:15,000, up to 1:750,000. For orienteers, it is easy to adapt the 1:100,000 or the 1:50,000 scale for a 1:10,000 or 1:5,000 map. Or use the 1:100,000 scale to measure cm directly on the map (eg. 30 on the map measurer = 30 cm on the map).
