About Suunto
Suunto was founded over 80 years ago by Tuomas Vohlonen, a Finnish adventurer. The compass technology available at the time wasn't meeting his needs, so he invented a liquid-filled compass with a more accurate needle. This innovation marked the beginning of Suunto, and from that day forward, Tuomas never found himself lost again. Suunto has always prioritized reliability and durability. The brand's compasses and watches are well-known for withstanding the harsh conditions of Finland’s cold and dark environment. Whether it’s navigating the wilderness or timing a swim, Suunto products have proven their resilience in the toughest conditions. You can find all types of helpful products from Suunto at your local MEC, either in-person or online.

Suunto compasses are made to withstand the rigors of outdoor exploration, providing confidence to those who rely on them in remote or rugged locations. For those who are looking to track their progress in motion, Suunto watches are the perfect solution.
