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.
