Dependable clear image

I like that this is mounted on my glasses...less vibration, stays in place. It's a little difficult to store between rides.

Thank you for your feedback.

Won't ride without one!

Fantastic product. Highly effective, Simple, easy and are very stable on sunglasses. One word of caution, consult the "takealookactive.com" website for proper use, not all of the mirrors stem lengths are intended for aero, wrap around style sunglasses! Some may say they look dorky but at least I'm not road kill. :).

Thank you for your feedback.

Great for the stiff neck folks like me

The Garmin Varia is a godsend of tech that can alert a rider of approaching cars. So does this mirror at a much cheaper clip. This also helps on the tight bike paths to get a glance at who is behind without the worry of swerving off course when turning one's head. Looks super dorky, so a huge neg on the coolness scale. Make of it what you will, but I'd rather be safe to ride another day. - signed Uncool Joe.

Nice design, but be advised it's not compatible with corrective glasses due to limited field of view.

Mounted on my glasses it has to be far enough from my head to see over my shoulder, but in that position it's outside the area of focus for the glasses, so cyclists behind me are just a blur. Works fine with contacts or plain sunglasses.

Thank you for your feedback.

I Feel Naked Without It

I've used several mirrors. This is unquestionably the best. I usually carry two or three on overseas bike trips as people I meet all want to know where to get one.

Thank you for your feedback.

You'll wonder what you did without one.

Granted it looks a little dorky, but now that I have a mirror I don't feel complete if I am on my bike without one.

I prefer the head mounted mirror to the handle bar mounted variety, less vibration, easier to control field of view.

Thank you for your feedback.

easy to use

It is easy to mount on a visor, but not on a helmet with out a visor. Found an attachment device the works pretty well. Once mounted in a good location it is easy to a line the mirror for looking at approaching traffic. It is very light weight and good visual field.

Thank you for your feedback.

Essential accessory

Genius engineering.

I am car-free and wear this mirror attached to my helmet visor. It allows me to keep track of what's going on behind me without constantly turning my head around. While no substitute for scanning by turning my ahead around before merging into traffic or a left turn lane, the mirror saves my time by allowing me to monitor traffic and pick a better time to make my move. I see many, many experienced riders wearing these, including long distance tandem tourers wearing one on each side.

I love the elegant infinitely adjustable angles. It was easy for me to set up, and I find the mirror an extremely helpful tool without being a distraction. Super light and strong.

Thank you for your feedback.

Feedback on product

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

good 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.

Just takes some adjustment

I attached the mirror to my helmet visor. Took awhile to adjust the mirror and make myself look out of my left eye. Once that was mastered, the only thing is at each ride I had to readjust the mirror as the helmet gets bumped around - taking in on/off and stored. These are not big issues - we all adjust.

Thank you for your feedback.

Finallym a great mirror!

This mirror fits securely on my glasses and is fully adjustable. The size is enough that I have great visibility. I have tossed the other mirrors that I own and use only this now.

Great safety tool for riding solo

I use this mirror every time I ride my road or commuter bike. It makes me feel safer while riding in busy roads. I have given a couple of these mirrors to friends.

Eyes In The Back of My Head

Works really well once set up on a pair of sunglasses. Best to use on a pair that has interchangeable lenses as setting up the mirror takes much longer than swapping lenses.

Nice, out of the way mirror

Convenient, but not enough detail on sizing provided... The compact, as I've found out, places the mirror too close to my eyeface making it difficult for me to use. Hopefully the regular size will do the trick
