I am not very happy with the product, very flimsy and I do not know how it could be attached to a helmet. I have since purchased another product.
I've been using this mirror for about 8 or 9 years. It works for me. This is only the 2nd one I've needed to purchase in all this time. It connects to my prescription sun glasses easily and securely. I'm 71 years old and my head doesn't rotate as it once did. This mirror helps with that problem.
I have had several different mirrors ranging from those mounted to the bar ends, helmet and glasses and have found these to be my favorites. They adjust easily and once you find the set up that works best for you it's not hard to reset them prior to a ride. Some mention having a longer reach for better vision, but I've not found this to be an issue. They are invaluable when riding in areas with traffic and remove the necessity for turning your head to check prior to moving left or turning. On the occassion of forgetting them, I feel uneasy without the ability to check what's going on behind me. The price is fair and I have found them to wear well and to last for several years without issues.
I tried this mirror and kept messing with it trying to get the mirror to see traffic, and when I did I had a blind spot that was too large to accept. Not sure it my problems were related to the design of the frame of my glasses, or if no matter what glass frame I would have used the result would have been the same, I'm not going to buy another pair of glasses to find out, some reviewers here love them so I suggest you try it and see what you think. Next time I buy a mirror I'll try a helmet mounted one and see if that works better. I think the product is overpriced too.
Best mirror out there
Minimal vibration
Love it
Well its a rearview mirror so it has to be adjusted correctly to do its job. The key thing is the glasses it is being used on, it has to be secure so you can make minor adjustments along the way with out it coming off.
I've had a cyclist mirror years ago, but lost them in a move so I picked these up. The usefulness of such mirrors comes into play (for me) when I'm riding and needing to stay diligent of traffic coming up from behind. Still, the mirror I had previously was longer and it's apparent in the set up. That this one is relatively short-extends to less than four inches in length-takes away from an effective configuration requiring you to move your head when to see what's behind you. I wear wide-stem Tifosi sunglasses when riding and the mirror connects snugly-no worries about adjustment shifting once the bracket is installed, but I also have a pair of wire Oakley's. You can forget installing these are wire thin glasses. Overall the quality is good, but again, I've seen this product with a longer extension that simply works better. If I have to turning my head and focus (due to the short stem) takes longer than taking a look over the shoulder-it does-there's really no point in having a mirror at all.
Clips onto RudyProject Rydon frames firmly - a bit of adjustment required to get 'just right' - but its very flexible in all directions.
I have had 3 of these mirrors over the years.. the mirror always outlasts the little black rubber tips that protect your eyewear and hold it in place. Tendency to rip over time, but, I remove the 'good one' from another mirror to replace it.
Best part is clear field of vision.
Absolutely love these, takes a little time getting used to those, but now, I don't ride without them ...??
I had never used a helmet/glasses mounted mirror. This one was a little too big. The mirror portion was too large and created a blind spot looking forward that freaked me out. I think I could get used to having the blind spot forward if the mirror itself were smaller. I've seen some like this with a mirror half the size.
Adjustments made easily. Sturdy construction. The only problem I have is where to store my sunglasses. I haven't tried taking the mirror on and off.
This mirror gives the best rear view of any mirror I have ever used and has no distortion.
just the right size and weight and the attachment easily adjusts to different size eyeglass frames.
Works well and stays put on 35-mile rides. Have used about a dozen times. Swiveled mirror flat each time to store when done - works, looks and fits like brand new. Mirror is fairly large and thick, but light. Appears to be polycarbonate, but don't let that scare you. The view is flawlessly flat and clear (optical grade), and poly is less likely to fog and will never shatter. Fits snugly on my metal-framed glasses. I intend to use this when walking with ear-buds to keep a better awareness of traffic.
I've been ridding seriously for over 35 years and for 34 of them would not have been caught dead with a mirror. But the need to feel safer on the roads made me break down and get this mirror and now I can't ride without it. I feel so much safer being able to see what's happening behind me. Just takes a ride or two to get adjusted and really is a game changer.
I have 3 of these mirrors & they work very well, fit on most glasses (all of mine) and provide good rear vision.
The system attaches securely to my Oakley M frame glasses. It's a little difficult to get on , but once connected, it's on to stay.
I'd prefer a smaller mirror that doesn't create such a large blind spot. I have the longer mirror and I think the short one would be even worse.
I think this will be more durable than prior plastic mirrors I've had.
I feel naked without my mirror while riding. This mirror is very durable - much better than the plastic product I've used for years which consistently fatigues and breaks at the arm. Completely adjustable and blocks minimal forward view due to the narrow rectangular shape. Highly recommend for any rider who values an eyeglass rear view mirror.
Longer than some that I have seen. Works well, but end that attaches mirror detaches rather easily. My frames have triangular shaped temples and these would work much better with flat ones.
I've tried a few of these mirrors. This one is the only one I'd recommend. It's also the only one that people on my team (Grizzly Peaks Cyclists) rides with.
Buy one.
You won't be disappointed.
