Summary: Took a while to get used to
Comment: I ride on suburban back roads (mainly) where there's not too much traffic, but I like to listen to music while riding so I knew I had to know what's coming up behind me. It took me about a week to get used to this mirror. Now I wouldn't want to ride without it. Its the only mirror I've ever used so I can't compare it or really comment on the quality. I've had no problems and the mirror gives me a clear view. Oh yeah, the directions are useless !!

Summary: I can now see what's behind me
Comment: I used this mirror for the first time today on a 15mi ride and it worked well. It was easy to attach and adjust, providing a view of what's behind me. It came with 3 double sided adhesive pads, so if one doesn't work, the other 2 should.
I was hesitant to buy it after all of the negative reviews, but happy with the purchase. Does it work as well as the rearview mirror on your car? No, it's the size of a quarter and attached to a moving object (your head). Does it let me see the cars and other bikers coming up behind me? Absolutely.

Customer Rating:
Summary: basically worthless
Comment: I was extremely disappointed in this mirror. For starters, the arm is just too short. You have to be able to put it on the very front of your helmet in order for the mirror to reach your field of view. On my helmet there isn't a sufficiently large flat area on the front to use the adhesive.
On top of that, they include a two-sided adhesive (on side sticks to the mirror arm, the other to the helmet), but only one side of the adhesive is sufficiently sticky! It would probably work if you used two adhesives and stuck the less sticky sides to eachother, but they only give you 3 of the adhesive pads, so clearly they're supposed to work by themselves.
The arm of the mirror is also rather flimsy plastic, and I was afraid I was going to break it during adjustments.
In the end, I used up all 3 adhesive pads and was unable to get it to stick to my helmet. I ended up just throwing the mirror away, because it wasn't really long enough anyway. Don't bother buying it - this mirror is worthless.

Summary: Needs getting used to, but will work fine.
Comment: I bought this after having a handlebar mirror that jiggles all over the place. This one doesn't jiggle, but I'm not sure this is superior. It is nice to be able to see traffic behind you in your peripheral vision without having to consciously check. Looking at the mirror itself gives you a pretty clear picture of the traffic. I think it will work for me eventually as I get used to it, but here's some caveats:
1. You must mount it so that only your left eye can see it. If you mount it too much in the front of your vision so that your right eye tries to look in it, your brain will get really confused. To figure out roughly where it needs to go, look straight ahead, cover your left eye and move the mirror until it just goes out of sight of your right eye.
2. Because of #1, you do need to look pretty far out of the upper left side of your eye. Overdoing this at first may give you some eye muscle strain! Better to use your peripheral vision most of the time.
3. It takes a lot of adjustment to get the mirror in the optimal position. I finally got the adjustment right and then the mirror fell off because of the heat + repositioned glue pad. Luckily they give you two extras.
5. Because the mirror is mounted on your head, it's a bit counterintuitive seeing things. If you move your head, the image moves the wrong way! You have to move only your eyes.
So I'd recommend a handlebar mirror for most people, since they are easier to use. But if you're set on a helmet mirror, I suppose this one will do fine, just be prepared to have it take some getting used to.
