Take A Look Active Original Activity Mirror for Sunglasses, Bike Helmets, or Visors Rear View Mirror for Cycling and Other Outdoor Activities

I've seen other cyclists with these but they looked kind of weird and like it would get in the way..Boy was I wrong. I commute on my bike and it's in a high traffic area where you definitely want a mirror. I've used many types that install to the handle bars. If you're reading this, please don't buy one of those. As cool as they look, they never work out(the vibration moves them around) and it's dangerous to turn the bars for a better view.Which brings me to the take a look mirror. The best feature is it is attached to your head so once you learn the movements you can see just about anywhere behind you. Like other reviewers I find this mirror works best attached to your sunglasses. I've tried both and for me the helmet doesn't work as well. It fell off once while riding attached to the helmet.The most important step to remember is that the middle clip needs to be on the outside and the other two go on the inside. It's very simple and I was able to get it installed the first time in under a minute. If you have any issues there is a website address with more detailed instructions included on the manual in the package.I find this mirror very easy to use. The little arm that the mirror is attached to rotatates vertically, while the arm that is connected to rotates horizontal. Meaning you can adjust the mirror anywhere you want. I put the clip in the center of my sunglasses so the mirror is just outside my vision and adjust the mirror so it's perfect viewing when my head is looking Straight ahead. Then for fine turning I turn my head to the left to see me behind me and to the right to see more to my outside. Once you have it adjusted and ride a couple miles you will figure out the angles to turn to see where you want.I can't believe I waited this long to buy one. No more guessing or straining your neck to see behind you. This mirror allows me to quickly scan behind me when ever I need to. Unlike handlebar mirrors that vibrate and bounce and eventually fall off, this little mirror attaches very well. It's simply made but well thought out and works well. I've had zero issues with stability or it detaching outside of the one time it detached from my Hemet but I do believe that's because it hangs upside down from my helmet. I have had no issues with it attached to my sunglasses. Even if it comes off I know where I put it(right in the middle) and then just a couple seconds to look behind me while wearing it to tune it in. The quality of the mirror is good as are all the parts for the mirror. You will be able to see in it. If you ride a bicycle and want to see behind you this is by far the best mirror I've used to do it.

I bought one of these over 7 years ago and used it several times a week riding my bike. I’ve clipped it to sunglasses off and on, but 99% of the time it’s clipped to my ball cap. It worked perfectly, was auper adjustable, and never broke. I lost it on a ride and ordered another as soon as I got home. My last one was “compact” (about half as tall as this one). I love this larger one and the mirror seems almost HD. Everything is crystal clear. I really probably just needed to clean the old one. Anyway, after several searches, I did find my old one but I’m keeping the new one and will have the compact one as a backup.

I purchased the original in 2023 when starting to bike commute in Boston and was recommended to get a mirror. My friend had those plastic mirrors, but their glass was clearly a lesser quality. I decided to try this and am happy I did. I will admit the second time I wore it, it fell off my helmet while riding and I couldn't find it. Luckily I emailed the company and they were so nice and sent me another! I've had this second one for two years and consider it an absolute safety must for riding. It becomes like a fifth limb once you get the hang of it. Even when I'm off my bike I'm expecting to have it on and think I can see behind me. The mirror is great quality glass and you can see crystal clear behind you, you'll feel like you have a superpower. I bought my friend one too. I never want to ride without it. The mounting is a little odd, I ended up using electrical tape to my helmet and that has worked fine and no issues the last two years, it stays on permanently. If you stuff your helmet in a bag the mirror will need to be readjusted once you go riding again, makes sense as it is easily adjustable. Somehow the mirror is still scratch free!I've waited two years to write this review and my final consensus, get it! Be safe and invest in protecting yourself. I would buy this thing again and again (and have!) and recommend you do to.
