    Another for the sunglasses mirror. If it's cloudy or dark I have clear goggles (since I don't wear glasses). It took me about 30 minutes to get used to it. My daughter didn't like it but she didn't give it 30 minutes, maybe 5 minutes. Give it a chance.

    I like the sunglasses mount. Tried on the helmet, but with our wonderful chipseal, there was too much jiggling around. Once you've decided you will never get used to it, try it a couple more times. Takes the brain a while to adjust to it.

    I see the "Take a Look" mirror on Amazon. Is that the one everyone is referring to? And if so, do you have the compact or normal size?

    We offer the ultra lite german mirror. Is very adjustable so works on most bikes.

    I love my bar-end mirror, I've no desire to attach one to my helmet. I have this one for road use. It is solid, and I've only managed to break one of them. They are inexpensive, high quality, and you can just replace the mirror itself if you break it. They do have a road bar version, but my bikes all have flat riser bars. As time goes on I use it less and less, but I doubt that I will stop using it.

    I like the Take a Look mirror (purchased from TE). I think REI and many lbs have them. Made from REAL glass, much clearer. Light weight. They look really fragile, but seem to be very sturdy.

    I use the Take a Look too because I always need to wear glasses (prescription sunglasses or regular glasses). I like how it can be tilted just about any direction you need.

    This is a very good mirror. I have it on one of my bikes and like it a lot.
