Essential Accessory for All CyclistsThere are more cars on the road than ever and also more distractions. When you're biking, you must be protected and aware of what's around you. This bike helmet mirror will enhance your safety and could very well save your life. |
Provides You With an Ultra-Clear ViewThis bike helmet mirror is flat, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but will help you judge the distance of vehicles and other objects behind you more accurately. So you'll be able to see cars in your rearview way before they could become an issue. |
Won't Vibrate or Fall Off While RidingGooseneck or flexible bicycle helmet mirrors can wobble while you're riding. This can cause a mountain of frustration when you're trying to concentrate and enjoy the ride. This mirror will stay locked in place once installed so you can ride without distractions. |
A Lifetime of Enjoyable Bike RidesOur goal when designing this bike mirror for helmets was to have you look at it many years down the road and say, "Wow, I've had this mirror forever!" That's the type of quality we strive to put out day in and day out. |

---|---|---|---|
Made From Strong, Sturdy MaterialsAlthough this mirror is lightweight, it weighs only 0.42 ounces; you'll be shocked by how sturdy it is. Each one is made out of heavy-duty, strong polymer and aluminum that can handle the wear and tear from life on the road. |
Protective Film Covering the MirrorPlease Read This Section Carefully: The transparent film covering the helmet mirror is just to protect it from damage during shipment. You have to remove it before using the mirror; otherwise, it will not function properly. |
Installs in Less Than 60 SecondsYou can install this mirror on the left or ride side of any bike helmet in one minute! Find the spot on your helmet that you'd like to install it on, add a hook and loop fastener pad, and attach the mirror. Voila, you're ready to ride! |
Adjust to Find the Perfect View for YouWhen designing this mirror, a feature that we considered essential was for it to adjust a full 360 degrees since we're all different heights and have different needs. Once the mirror is installed, adjust it until you find the perfect clear view for you. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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 inside of the helmet. Are there maybe helmets where you WOULD feel this pressing against the side of your head? Possibly, but a quick test (but without the velcro attached) on two other helmets seemed to yield the same results.
This velcro also allows you to detach this mirror from the helmet that it is attached to, if you want to. And the velcro tape can easily detach from the styrofoam on the inside of the helmet if you are not careful – when you are taking it off. I personally never take it off or plan on transferring it to another helmet. Of note – if you have an older helmet or you use a stronger tape/velcro it could conceivably pull a chunk off your styrofoam if you tried to take the tape off itself.
I have seen some reviews for this where people screw it into their helmet or permanently glue it. You have to consider that this could compromise your helmet, possibly, or make taking it off a big deal that leaves a missing chuck or holes. You’re better off just using the velcro that came with it unless it is really detaching on you and then go for the stronger stuff. But you shouldn’t be cutting or screwing into your helmet.
Once it’s on the helmet you can adjust the angle of the shaft vertically at the back near where it attaches to the helmet by loosening the screw there, then re-tightening it when it is in place. If you don’t super-tighten it then you can even swing the whole thing up out of the way. I prefer it tightened, just enough to keep its position but not so much that it won’t swing up if I set it down on something that presses the mirror up.
At the front of the shaft, you can rotate the mirror and attachment in 360 degrees – including all the way up (and upside down) out of your view. This is good if you temporarily want it out of your way but want to keep the overall adjustment in whatever position you set it to (on the shaft). The arm going from the shaft to the mirror also has a ball and socket adjustment at the top of the mirror base for some angled adjustment, for an angle forward and back and left and right up to a degree.
The shaft itself can also carefully be bent if needed too. It is a fairly soft metal so be careful with this. It can be bent to angle up out of the way more, or follow/snake along the side of the helmet, or be bent to be further out, or around the front a little, or whatever works for you.
You may want to experiment with slightly different positions over time. I like it high enough to be out of my way for a full unobstructed front and side view, that way I have no blind spot from the mirror (unless I get attacked by a bird or plane, I suppose) and can glance left and up to see behind me using the mirror.
You should be able to get the whole set up into any position that you like, with the shaft being quite long and easy bendable.
Which leads me to a tweak I made. I found the shaft to be way too long and distracting for me personally, not to mention very visually unappealing. Personal opinion here, and you may find it just right the way it is. But I did a little DIY to carefully trim the shaft, unscrewing the part that attaches at the helmet, sliding the shaft out and carefully cutting a short piece off, filing the end, and sliding it back in and re-tightening the screw. I did it in very short sections so I didn’t cut too much off at once and got the perfect (in my opinion) length. A hacksaw makes quick work of the cutting as it is very soft pliable aluminum.
The mirror itself is good-sized, kind of egg-shaped or some people may say ‘shield-shaped’. About 1 inch (2.5 cm) by one and a half (3.8 cm). This gives you a good wide enough range as well as a high and low enough range if you are on a hill or something. When you receive it,it has protective plastic over the mirror so make sure you take that off after you get it mounted.
The quality of the glass is excellent, there is no magnification nor is it a wider view than normal, there is no concavity or convexity to it – it is just ‘what you see is what you get’. This helps in giving you a real guide to how close or far away traffic is and also doesn’t affect its ability to be used in lower light. And because the mirror is just a plain mirror it works fine with any sort of prescription glasses and of course with sunglasses.
If you find that the mirror moves around too readily and then just try tightening the screw on the end of the shaft attached to the mirror part, there is a spring inside there for allowing it to swing up and out of the way. So you want it loose enough for it to swing if you happen to set it down on something. On the back section near the helmet make sure that screw is tight enough too but be careful of tightening any of the screws too much.
The whole thing is only about .42 ounces (12 grams), and I don’t feel it on my helmet at all.
And for me even on a rough road it barely vibrates. But for mountain biking – I’m not sure.
The Amazon page mentions that the mirror has a lifetime warranty from the company.
Using a bike mirror can take a little practice, and some people may even find it more distracting or even more dangerous (glancing in the rearview and holding that gaze too long, say) than not having one, and may never even become proficient at using a rearview mirror of any type on a bicycle. Let’s face it, a lot of people can’t properly use their car mirrors, let alone a small bike mirror.
But for those of us who can properly use a bike mirror – of any type – it is going to be of help in the safety department which, as cyclists, we need as much of as possible. And yes – I made a blanket statement there and some may dispute me on it but it’s what I believe and what I have found from years of cycling. And I have found that it very much benefits not only me while riding solo; but when I am riding with another or a group – it benefits everyone. Heck, even those who hate bike mirrors 😉
So is this mirror going to convince your anti-bike-mirror friends to change their tune? Nah, not at all.
Is it going to make you look any less bike-geeky? That is in the eye of the beholder.
Might it help avoid an accident or near-accident that you might have on your own, with a friend, or in a group ride? Quite possibly.
And anytime you can make yourself safer on the road is a good thing.
So check out the Life On Bicycle 360 Degree Adjustable Rearview Bicycle Helmet Mirror and give it a try, if you are looking for a bike helmet mirror.
There are many clones of this – but some may have the plastic lens which you want to avoid, for sure, so go with this one which has a glass mirror.

However, when the mount is attached to the outside hard plastic shell of a helmet with an adhesive pad, the mirror works well. I like the light weight and adjustability of the mirror support.
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 mount well away from your head. The mount is solid, and you can unscrew it to move or remove the mirror. The short arm doesn't amplify vibrations. You get a big, steady view of traffic. The problem is that hard shell helmets are all but gone. Bell might have some skateboard helmets with hard shells. 5 stars. This is the picture with the white helmet.
Third Eye Pro Helmet Bicycle Mirror: This is the best mirror for modern helmets. It has a short, solid arm. The arm sticks to the inside of your helmet. The mount is close to your head and can put pressure on your temple if not mounted perfectly. The sticky tape lost its stickiness on one helmet so I had to secure it with a cable tie. You get a big, steady view of traffic. 4 stars. This mirror is in the picture of a helmet with two mirrors and in the picture with the yellow helmet.

I chose this mirror because it mounted on my helmet and was not too large. It was easy to attach to my helmet and I find it very sturdy and stable. It does take time to get used to it and it does practise to position the mirror to suit your visibility. But once set, it stays set until my next ride (I bump the mirror when I put it on the shelf after my ride.
A rear view mirror will enhance your safety during a ride.
