Product ReviewsCoghlan's 9714 Zipper Pull Thermometer and Compass

A handy product for Skiers, hikers. etc.

This is the second time I've ordered these. The first one I used for 6 rough years, this past year the thermometer dried out so I've ordered more for myself an family. I wouldn't use the compass for exact long range navigation but its handy for keeping to a heading and a good backup along with a map for keeping to a heading.

All told, a good idea.Read full review...

Built to be sold, not used.

Good first impression. The compass and thermometer run true. But disappointment quickly follows.

Flex it a bit in your hands and the back pops off. The compass & thermometer are glued to a piece of ordinary paper, but the plastic housing is not water tight!

The back is just held in by friction & the compass protrudes through a whole in the front piece.

Maybe this was meant to be solvent welded shut and they just skipped that step?

If you buy it, plan to super glue the backs and around the compass to make something that will survive past your first day on the mountain.

This was obviously meant for skiers, but as it is I expect that after my first "yard sale" I'll just have an empty plastic rectangle dangling from my jacket...Read full review...

A good value for what I paid.

Thermometer is accurate, it is built well enough but the compass is over sensitive needs a moment to settle down to read accurately. It would work better if in a liquid rather than air in the capsule.Read full review...

Typical Coghlans

- it feels like olde skool plastic car key FOB from the 1960s. It's OK for what I bought it for, but wouldn't want to depend on the compass for global nav.

Compass is off

Bought 2 of these, thermometer works okay but compass is off on both of them. One compass is off by 20 degrees and the other is off by about 45 degrees.

DO NOT BUY

The compass on this keychain is awful. You'll get lost if you use it. Waste of $7, could have bought a decent compass for just a little more.

Nice compact zipper attachment with information accessible immediately

Great to have info on the temperature and which direction you are headed. It helps out to have this right at your fingertips immediately without fumbling around for equipment.
