Third Eye Pro Bicycle Helmet Mirror - See Behind You with Ease!

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...

Irv R: This item replaced a CycleAware Reflex Helmet Mirror. My big problem with that mirror was that the mirror wouldn't stay adjusted on the end of the arm. So, my thoughts on this mirror? Well, it makes sense that it was made by a dentist, and the build quality shows.

Mounting to Helmet: Well, I can't really evaluate the way it came out of the box. I'm not a big fan of two-sided tape, which is what this came with. It didn't work well on the last mirror, which I ended up epoxying to my helmet, so I forewent the tape and went straight to the epoxy. I ended up cutting the flat piece down a bit to match it to a flat piece of my helmet, and used JB Weld to attach it to the helmet. Just like my last mirror, bombproof.

Build quality: Very good. Hinge points are tight, and the arm is stiff.

Adjustability: Very good. I was a bit worried as there are only two points of articulation, but it adjusts to a wide variety of positions.

Stability: I was worried about this due to my last mirror. However, the joints are quite tight, and the arm itself is very stiff. Yes, there's a bit of vibration, but that's unavoidable, as my head and helmet vibrate. Going...

Fritz Bollmann: ... ist nur den richtigen Platz zu finden. Danach ist es eine Frage der Gewöhnung. Ich bin eine Gleitsichtbrille gewohnt, da ist das Schauen etwas schwierig. Aber besser als nichts sehen ist es allemal. (4 Sterne)

Nachtrag: Bin ein paar Tage ohne Spiegel gefahren. Als ich den Spiegel wieder aufstecken wollte, fehlte ein Teil in der "Pfanne" des Kugelgelenks. Da so etwas nicht herausfallen darf – besonders nicht bei dem Preis – und der Spiegel nun völlig nutzlos ist, ziehe ich drei Sterne ab. (Für alle, die den Spiegel für immer und ewig am Helm lassen wollen, bleibt es bei vier Sternen.)

James Smith: Other reviewers have praised this product: lightweight, little vibration, wide field of view. I'll just try to add a little bit to the already extensive advice on how to mount it.

I have a Bell helmet with vent holes and some channels molded on the outside for artistic effect. The mounting piece is flexible enough to accommodate some irregularities, so don't worry too much about minor bumps and ridges. I didn't see any way to mount it inside my helmet, but your helmet may be different.

The plastic arm holding the mirror needs to be tilted down about 20 degrees to bring the mirror in line with your eyes. Line up the arm perpendicular with the mounting plate, put the helmet on your head, and slide the mounting plate forward and back on your helmet so the mirror is 3 to 3 1/2 inches in front of your eyes. Closer to your eyes gives you a wider field of view in the mirror but obscures more of your forward vision. I prefer closer. Then rotate the mounting plate so the mirror is directly in line with your eyes or a little higher. You want to be able to move the arm up or down about 30 degrees from its centered position. Hold the plate in place while you...
