I have the keychain version from REI with a button compass attached.  I want to say it was around 5 dollars, and it's marketed to be used as a zipper pull.  Definitely a "close number" vs "dead on", but it's cheap and small :tu:

ETA: I looked it up, called the "Zip-o-Gauge", listed as $7.  The "Therm-o-Compass" was the one I got, listed at $10.  Must have had a coupon...

The measurements are pretty small, so it's tough to see exactly what the reading is.  But I've checked it against a wall-mounted thermometer and it seems to line up.

Vic has a nice combo model. Very accurate in my experience.

I really like that Vic model.  Super slim and won't look like a round brick in your pocket like the Navitool.

Rescue, you are asking for a small portable thermometer right? Not an app or something on your phone?
