Good connection, but I'd prefer a smaller mirror.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

The one. The only

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

The best - nothing else even comes close

Excellent mirror. Literally gives you eyes on the back of your head. Go for the full length - the compact is too short to see much of anything behind you and the full size isn't as heavy as you'd think.

Thank you for your feedback.

Had tried several different mirrors, this one best so far. Even had to get three more for my wife and two friends

Adjustable and sturdy. When put on my glasses, it stays there, no chance of falling off. Great rear vision with it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent Rear Visibility

I have worn sunglass mounted rear mirrors for years. I used to use the round ones but decided to give these a try. These provide more of an image of what is behind you.

Being able to see the motorists behind you gives one a chance at survival when they move into the bike lane and especially when they cut off a cyclist when making a right hand turn. I cannot remember the number of times the mirror has saved me from a major crash with a motor vehicle. I am always dumb founded when I see other cyclists go by without any means of seeing what is behind them. Mirrors are ridiculously light weight, don't look nerdy and provide huge safety benefits. I cannot ride without one.

Thank you for your feedback.

The only mirror that works for me.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Worth the price, no one can put a price on safty.

I bought two of these cyclists mirror. I use one for early dark thirty with clear lens glasses, the other cyclist mirror I use on dark sunglasses in the afternoon. I see all vehicles behind me and this allows me to avoid accidents.

Thank you for your feedback.

These are a great addition to your safety system.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Works as advertised

This is a replacement mirror as the first one did not survive a broken crank-arm crash. I have definitely enjoyed not having to crank me head around trying to look behind me. Was hesitant at first, thinking that it would block my forward vision but this has not been an issue. Would recommend this for those who put in a lot of miles on the rode (i.e., Randonneurs).

Thank you for your feedback.

It simply works!

I live in central Ohio, and there has been an an absolute epidemic of IDIOTS hitting cyclist with cars over the last year. (Do not let me get on a rant about that....) This product works well and fortifies peace of mind and safety. This mirror does not vibrate, which allows a clear view. Good product.

Great for out of the saddle.

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.

My favorite mirror

I've tried other mirrors. This has the best view - clarity and width of the field of vision. After figuring out the best adjustment, it stays put while riding. Two lengths are available. I prefer the longer one.

I attach them to glasses that have fairly strong plastic frames. The clamping mechanism can slip a little depending on the frame so I use a couple wraps of dental floss to make sure it doesn't slip.

I'm a bike commuter, so keeping an eye on traffic is a big deal. This mirror works quite well.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great price and great product.

I was skeptical but ordered one for my wife and myself. I would never ride the road without one anymore. Very durable, easy to fit on my oakleys and provides a full view of the entire road behind me. Just a glance is all it takes. It's really piece of mind to know what's going on behind you, without having to crane your neck around and wander all over the road. Takes a few rides to get used to and trust it. But it's an awesome product and after looking at the other brands out there the quality is excellent. Get the small one if your using it for sunglasses, fits perfect.

Thank you for your feedback.

Greatly Improved Safety

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great product.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great!

I have a Garmin Varia and now I have rear view mirror. With the number of distracted drivers, and down right rude people, cyclist need as much help as we can get! Getting the mirror set up properly and getting use to using it takes some time, but then it's great. I much prefer this to a bike mounted mirror because I can move my head slightly and scan a wider field behind me.

Thank you for your feedback.

Old school but still the best..

Thus thing has been around forever and never improved upon, Durable materials, adjustable, large field of view and will last longer than you will.

Lost one years ago and replaced it with a plastic Third _____ brand. What a piece of junk. Broke in one season and the field of view was too small. Pair this with one of those new radar thingies and you have complete situational awareness.

What more could you want?

Thank you for your feedback.

Love it.

Bought 2. Long and short models. Had owned short but lost. Friend has long and really likes. I tried both. Short version is my preference. Also has smaller mirror. Kept long as a back up. Both work well. Went with my personal preference.

Results will vary

The use-fullness of this mirror depends on the rider position. I ride 100 miles/week with hands on the drops or on the brake lever hoods 98% of the time. There is no adjustment that can be made that will provide the line of sight required to see the lane behind. It would be useful if I rode in an upright position. I gave it a three star overall rating because it is well made. One star for value because it has no value to me.

Thank you for your feedback.
