Customers are mixed about the ease of installation. Some mention it's easy to attach to one's helmet with plastic ties, it stays in place, and is simple as all get out to just remove from the mount. However, others say that this makes it even more difficult to install it on the helmet and that the mirrors are a pain to setup and adjust. It takes a little time to mount and requires some effort, especially if your helmet has a different range of adjustment.

Customers are mixed about the size of the mirror. Some mention that it's adjustable, stable, and has a larger diameter, making it easy to have good field of vision.

Customers have mixed opinions about the appearance of the mirror.

Hard to install on helmets with adjustable visors or if you wear glasses

Hard to install on helmets with adjustable visors or if you wear glasses
A friend of mine recommended this mirror; he has been using it for a while and found that it works well for him. I had high hopes that it would work well for my son and I. We started by ordering one mirror to test, with the intention to buy the second one if it works. Unfortunately, we were unable to install it correctly. I will explain why. The mirror consists of a mounting bracket and an about 5 inches long somewhat flexible arm, called "articulating links". The instructions suggest that the mirror should be installed, ideally, at least 5" from the eyes. This means, the end of the mounting bracket with the "breakaway joint" should be at the edge of the helmet at roughly the eye level. Additionally, the mounting bracket should either go between two openings in the helmet, or cross several openings to be able to route zip ties in two different locations, for a sturdy attachment to the helmet. We found that on all three helmets in our family, there is no chance for this to happen. We have helmets with visors, which are commonly referred to as "mountain bike helmets". They are of three different makes and models. The description suggests that the mirror can be attached to any helmet, with some creativity. We tried to be creative. Yet, with our helmets, there are not enough openings on the side to attach the mounting bracket more or less horizontally, from front to back, and visor gets in the way if we try to attach it across the helmet. Visors on our helmets are adjustable, so if mounting bracket goes under it, we will not be able to change its position. We cannot run it behind the visor across the helmet because it this case the mirror will get too close to our eyes (we all wear glasses; if the mirror is too close to the eyes and too much on the side, you cannot see it well through the glasses). We cannot run it on top of the visor because the visor itself is about 4" to 5" long, and the articulating links, which are only 5" long, are too short for such placement. I went to the manufacturer's web site and studied their gallery of installation examples. Tried routing through the hole in the visor. Bracket is still too short to reach both potential attachment points, and mirror is still too close to the eyes to see it well through the glasses.My son tried to attach it through the visor anyways, just to try, but had a very frustrating experience that every attempt to adjust the mirror when he was on the bike resulted in disconnection of the mirror from the mounting bracket at the breakaway ball joint. This is because the articulating links are very stiff, while ball joint is less stiff. An effort to bend the articulating links usually dislodges the ball connector before the snake-like arm bends, unless three hands are used (i.e., someone holds the ball connector in place while other person adjusts the mirror). He ultimately gave up and said he is done with trying.Finally, as I mentioned, if you wear glasses, the range of positions where the mirror can be gets much narrower. It has to be as far away from the eyes as possible, otherwise it may get outside of the field of vision covered by the glasses. 5" recommended by the manual is probably OK. But it has to be as close to those 5" as possible, and note, the flexible arm itself is only 5" long, without an option of making it longer. This makes it even more difficult to install it on the helmet, in the sense that range of possible positions of the mounting bracket on the helmet becomes greatly reduced. The "breakaway joint" must be at the edge of the helmet, within the vertical plane that goes through the eyes, to make the mirror positioned 5" away from the eyes. If it is closer than 5", you will not be able to see it through the glasses. You will see it with your side vision outside of your glasses' lenses, but everything in it will be blurry.The mounting bracket is relatively short and is quite stiff. If its curvature does not match the curvature of the helmet, good luck attaching it. A longer mounting bracket with a softer tail could work better in our situation because maybe it would reach a possible second attachment point. In our case, we could attach it in only one position, which of course is not enough to held it in a position (see the attached picture, in which I used a white cable tie). If I move the mounting bracket closer to the visor and turn it slightly, I still cannot attach it with two ties because the mounting bracket does not conform to the shape of the helmet along this direction and I cannot bend its tip to attach to the top of the helmet. If I run it horizontally, I have nothing to attach it to, or would have to attach it somewhere in the back of the helmet and the mirror would be right at my eye level rather than 5 inches in front of it.I think this mirror is a great idea: an adjustable mirror which can self-detach in case of fall, a mirror made of acrylics, but it would be so much better if one would have an option of a different shape of the mounting bracket and/or extension for the articulating links. IF the "articulating links" were 10" long, I would have easily install this mirror by attaching the bracket to the rear of the helmet.It probably would install fine on so called "road racing helmets", which do not have a visor and have many small vents, with plenty of attachment points. It might install on helmets with a fixed visor. But not on helmets with adjustable visors which have 2 or 3 positions and relatively few of relatively large air vents.The last but not the least, with the modern MIPS helmets (I think there is another similar technology that became available recently), the ties have to routed between the foam part of the helmet and MIPS liner, which is not always easy or might not even be always possible. Not a showstopper, but a consideration. It was much easier to do before MIPS.The conclusion is, great idea, but it does not work equally well for all helmets or for those who wear glasses. If you (a) wear glasses, and (b) have a helmet with adjustable visor and relatively few vents of a large size, you may run into difficulties with installation. If you both, have such helmet and wear glasses, your situation is even worse. We decided to return the mirror and look for other options.
