360° Adjustable Rearview Bicycle Helmet Mirror for Enhanced Cycling Safety

GJ: I'm not sure I survived without this mirror. My handlebar mirror was never set in the right place when I needed it, this one is perfect always. Good buy.

Thomas D. KehoeThomas D. Kehoe: I've used helmet mirrors for 40+ years. Until six weeks ago I'd never been hit by a car, and I credited my helmet mirrors. Then a pickup made a right turn from the left lane cutting across heavy traffic and hit me in the bike lane. Luckily I wasn't badly hurt.

Life On Bicycle 360 Degree Adjustable Rearview Bicycle Helmet Mirror: This mirror is tiny. It's on a long, long metal arm. It mounts with velcro (the velcro sticks to the inside of your helmet). The result is a small view of the traffic behind you. The view is shaky as the velcro doesn't hold the arm firmly and the long arm multiples vibrations. The mirror catches on my screen door, on my fairing, etc. 3 stars. This mirror is in the picture of a helmet with two mirrors.

EVT Safe Zone Bicycle Helmet Mirror: This mirror is huge. And it's expensive. It mounted onto a standard helmet (the kind with lots of vents) with cable ties. It works, but I hated it. It's too big and in the way. 4 stars. No picture.

Third Eye Round Helmet Mirror for Hard Shell Helmets: This is the best mirror...if you have a hard shell helmet. It mounts to the outside of your helmet, not to the inside. These keeps the...

Jackel: I bought this initially 4 years ago because it was one of the only products that had a metal arm, I was able to bend and mold along the surface of my helmet. However, I broke the plastic piece that attached to my helmet and I needed to buy a replacement. Unfortunately, the mirror is over magnified. It’s fine for a Sunday afternoon ride in the park, but on a road bike, it’s not good at all. I couldn’t see cars until they were almost at my shoulder. Fortunately I kept the other mirror set and was able to swap the new mirror for the old.

I wish they had an option on magnification.

Mitaine: I found using the mirror difficult to do while using the bike, having to close one eye and turn the head to see what's behind, but I also have a camera monted, and the mirror is much clearer. I have already avoided being hit from behind by another bike trying to turn left on a corner. Good purchase.

Terry Russell: I believe the product is good, but I am used to using larger mirrors on the bike.

LectricheadLectrichead: The Life On Bicycle 360 Degree Adjustable Rearview Bicycle Helmet Mirror has a rectangular pad that slides up under the edge of your helmet (on the left side – if for some reason you wanted it or needed it on the right I don’t think it would work as the mount is made for the left), between the padding/straps and the inside of the helmet. You put a strip of velcro (included – it seems fine and is working great for me but if you needed something better try a heavier-duty velcro) on this rectangle and attach the matching velcro to the helmet side.

It should fit almost any helmet. Including ones with visors (you’re not violating Rule #35 are you? Totally kidding 😉

This is pretty secure, at least on my helmet, though over time I occasionally have to reposition it a bit as the two pieces of velcro get out of alignment a little. Not a big deal, just occasionally it needs a little readjustment, which is quick.

When wearing the helmet there is nothing pressing against your head and you can’t even tell that the pad that holds the velcro, nor the velcro itself, was there as the padding and straps are not usually pressed flat against the...

Mrs S Neat: I can see that this should work very well but I found it distracting. Maybe I should give it more time- I became rather unsteady as I don’t think I have got the hang of it

HopCop2006: It was easy to install the Velcro tape to the inside of my helmet though the helmet padding seemed to be in the way. The Velcro tape isn’t super sticky and the contraption tends to unstick and fall off consistently when I’m not wearing my helmet.
But once I put my helmet on and adjust the mirror, it does the job.
(*A word to those using a side-view helmet mounted bike mirror for the first time ever:
Yes, it is going to vibrate, especially if you are riding off road or somewhere rougher than a newly-paved street. You’ll also have to get used to moving your head around just right to get a good look at what’s behind you or coming up alongside. Head movement/angle/placement is everything, so practice.)
I used the mirror for the first time on a crushed gravel rail to bike trail/path for about 14 miles.
I expected it to fall off due to vibration but it never did. However, I had to be careful when touching my face or adjusting my helmet or swatting bugs that I didn’t accidentally knock it out of alignment. This happened a lot at first.
Verdict? It works as expected, view is clear enough, and it surprisingly stays on as long as it is...
