Safe Zone Customer Reviews
“Thank you, thank you. You folks are great. I have been recommending the Safe Zone Mirror to others for years. Now I can recommend the great service as well. Thanks for standing by your product.” ~ STS | February, 2026
“I recently replaced my helmet and needed to re-install my Safe Zone Helmet Mirror (made/sold by Efficient Velo Tools). Speaking to one of their representatives, they explained that with new zip ties I could move the mirror over pretty easily. They offered and sent me a package of free zip ties to help me out. NO COST! Not a lot of money, but what great customer service! Nice breath of fresh air in today's horrible customer service environment. Thank You!” ~ Gary | February, 2026
“Your mirror is the greatest mirror ever! Virtually indestructible! I love it! Makes so much sense!” ~ Rob P | October, 2025
“I am telling all my friends about what a great company EVT is. This mirror has been such a gamechanger in saved reaction time. It linked to my muscle memory so seamlessly, I’d find myself out of helmet in the grocery store flicking my eyes to the corner of my vision to try and check behind me. Revolutionized my riding experience. Riding without it, the lost reaction time was immediately noticeable. It’s wild how that second or two of turning around when you’re bombing hills translates into noticeable distance traveled blind.” ~ Basil | September, 2025
“Your mirror has probably saved my life many times over and certainly prevented some close calls.” ~ Steve J | September, 2025
“I have used the Safe Zone Mirror now for some years and feel like there is something missing if I use a helmet without one. The rear view is so clear that I can safely make out all the traffic without confusion. I thoroughly recommend this mirror, it will improve your safety on the bike.” ~ Ken | August, 2025
“Thank you for the engineering intelligence dedicated to the Safe Zone Helmet Mirror.” ~ Ryan | July, 2025
"Fyi — I learned about the Safe Zone Mirror by asking someone who had one. She told me to Google ‘best bike mirror ever’. That’s what I say to people who ask me!" ~ Bill | June, 2025
“I Just received the replacement SZ mirror in holder. Thanks again for your support and customer service! This is definitely the best helmet mirror on the market. Much Appreciated.” ~ Rick S | June, 2025
“My son and I purchased your Safe Zone Mirrors for our first RAGBRAI in 2021. Neither of us had regularly used bike mirrors before, but we had been advised rearview mirrors were recommended for the Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. We have both come to rely heavily on the mirror in our regular riding, particularly as my son lives in a large city and his bike is his primary vehicle. In 2023 he had a small accident and was thrown from his bike and I was very impressed (and thankful!) with how his mirror simply detached at the arm as he hit the ground, causing neither him nor his helmet any damage, and with no damage to any of the mirror pieces. He was able to reattach the mirror at the ball joint and continue riding once he was determined to be okay.” ~ Kory F | June, 2025
“Thank you Mr. Brett Flemming. I just received the replacement SZ mirror in holder. You are a true businessman and an honest person. Your mirror has saved my life many times over the years and I will always recommend your product.” ~ Brian L | May, 2025
“Thank you so much - just received the replacement part over the weekend. I will continue to extol the EVT Safe Zone Mirror to all my fellow cyclist friends and if something happens to this one, I'm buying the next one. The product, warranty and customer service are simply top notch.” ~ S. Kim | April, 2025
“Thank you again for the superior customer service. I love the Safe Zone Mirror. Keeps me safe when I am cycling. Best!” ~ Nicole | March, 2025
“I would like to just let you know that I received the base for my helmet. You folks are the best. Not only in customer service but also in the products that you make. My wife and I have had the Safe Zone Mirrors for almost 6 years now and we wouldn't touch anything else. In addition, we have been telling all of our friends that we meet that they should really invest in your mirrors for safety, style and ease of use, as well as awesome customer service!! Thanks again!!!” ~ Wheeler | March, 2025
“I bought a Safe Zone Helmet Mirror and I LOVE it. Buying a spare, plus one for my husband and daughter so they can be more safe too. People rave about Garmin Varia Radar but this is so much better! Thank you!!” ~ Heather | March, 2025
“Your video is exactly what we needed. This is what we were doing but once we saw the video, we pushed harder and got the mirror attached. Thank you again for the superior customer service. I love the Safe Zone Mirror. Keeps me safe when I am cycling.” ~ Nicole B | March, 2025
“I am absolutely thrilled with your amazing customer service - wow. Thank you for taking such good care of me.” ~ Andrew G | January, 2025
“EVT’s Safe Zone Mirror was about the 4th mirror I tried, and the only one I decided to keep. I wouldn't be without it!” ~ Larry R | December, 2024
“I'm constantly touting this mirror to friends of mine who say ‘I don't need a mirror’ or ‘Mirrors never stay on.’ I was that person until I found the Safe Zone Helmet Mirror. Your mirror is the best cycling product I own. I rely on it to make me safer on the road. I find I can also be bolder in taking a lane or riding side-by-side with another rider because I can constantly monitor what's behind me and slip back into single file or a narrow shoulder when I need to. Recently I had to use a friend's helmet for a day and I missed the mirror so much. Never change this excellent product! Thank you! - Virginia M | August, 2024
“Thanks for the fast reply - that's a mark of excellence! Thanks for the discount code too!” ~ Mr. Crispin | July, 2024
“Thank you for your professionalism. Your product is the best and your customer service is world class. Again, thank you.” ~ Jeff B | June, 2024
“As a riding couple, tandem and solo, Francie & I love your EVT Safe Zone Helmet Mirrors, with five in use currently on different helmets, two of which we wore riding our tandem across the country on the Southern Tier Route in St. Augustine, FL. We now understand from your website how to better maintain the laser cut reflective surface to prevent delamination! The attached picture is of my mirror on my road bike helmet, that didn't cross the country on me, but has put in 13,000 road miles over 2.5 years.” ~ Mr. & Mrs. G | August, 2023
“Hello EVT, I can't thank you enough for creating the Safe Zone Helmet Mirror! I tried so many different mirrors, strapping to the bike, glasses, helmet, etc., and nothing works nearly as well as this one. Your helmet mirror provides an extremely clear rear view that is unmatched. I hardly have to turn my head and can just glance up to see what's behind me. I was reluctant to purchase it, because I thought it would be too bulky. I have to admit, I was a little embarrassed wearing it on the first ride, only until I experienced how well it performed. Now I'm proud to wear it! I can't believe I cycled so long without it. I just purchased a second mirror for my other helmet, so I don't have to switch between the two. Thanks for making my rides more enjoyable and safer.” ~ Nate R | July, 2023
“My wife and I both use your Safe Zone Mirrors for general riding but more importantly when we tour. We have put over 20,000 miles on the road wearing your mirrors and would never pedal away without them. They are fabulous and work great!” ~ Mrs. & Mrs. R | July, 2023 (see picture at Dundalk Republic of Ireland)
“In my 57 years of cycling, I have not found a better mirror than your Safe Zone Helmet Mirror. It is a great product that is easy to use and provides wonderful rear view clarity. At this point I can decide if the best part of this experience has been the product or the service. That’s easy - you both get 10’s!! Thanks so much for all your help. Happy trails! ~ Leo H | February, 2023
“Ever since I got hit by a car, maybe 10 years ago, I have worn a helmet. But by far, the biggest safety protection I own is my helmet-mounted Safe Zone Helmet Mirror! Being able to avoid being hit is much safer than being hit. Relying on a little plastic and cushioning that even the best helmet can provide is far less safe than not getting hit! The mirror is crucial.” ~ John B | June, 2023
“I just purchased and installed my mirror on my new Bontrager Wavecell helmet. This has got to be one of the best investments I have ever made. I was concerned that the zip ties would not go under the wavecell material, but they went through with ease. We could not get the velcro to work but the zip ties held the mirror firmly to the helmet. Awesome product!” ~ Steve | June, 2023
“I bought an EVT Safe Zone Mirror several weeks ago. It installed perfectly and is just fantastic in use. A beautiful, thought-out design.” ~ John S | May, 2022
Things Matteo told us he likes about the Safe Zone Mirror:
No swerving left with shoulder checking.
Constant peripheral view allows one to feel more calm.
No looking down at your bar-mounted mirror and away from line of sight.
Motorists often think it’s a camera and avoid doing really dumb stuff.
~ Matteo Z | May, 2022
“Hi and thanks for making your excellent mirrors, which my son and I think are lifesavers, literally.” ~ Brooks B | April 2022
“We have been using various helmet mirrors for at least 40 years, and yours are certainly by far the most robust we've seen. I'm always amazed at how some cyclists value appearance and complying to group norms over safety....especially 'racing' cyclists. Few recognize how much they swerve attempting to look back over their shoulder. A helmet mirror adds trifling weight or wind-drag, and provides incredible coverage of everything behind a rider. Thanks for producing such a fine product!” ~ Michael C | March, 2022
“Thank you for mailing double stick tape & Velcro straps to assist us in mounting the mirrors to our cycling helmets. We thoroughly enjoy their view range. ~ Jamie & Doug | March, 2022
"I love your helmet mirrors. I won't use anything else." ~ JP | January, 2022
“The Safe Zone Mirror is a top notch product and the extended visibility makes me feel so much safer than other mirrors that I’ve used!” ~ Dave B | November, 2021
“My wife and I own your EVT mirrors - love them, recommend them to everyone we come across on bike tour and include them in our training seminars for ACA and REI - best safety product on Earth for cyclists!” ~ Dan R | July 2021
”Although we’re generally advocates of trusting god with your noggin, if you still wear a helmet, good for you, and if you want the World’s Best Helmet Mirror, a guy named Brett Flemming invented it. His business is Efficient Velo Tools. He makes specialty shop tools and a few others, and this world-beating mirror is his only “consumer” thing. I don’t know Brett. Maybe we’ve met, but I don’t remember. I know we have mutual friends. But I’d heard about this mirror, read about it, got one for Rich here to try. It took him a few weeks before he put it on his helmet, and he raves about it all the time now. He’s always used helmet mirrors, and says this one is far beyond. It’s big, light (1.5oz), easy to mount, and adjust, and locks in place. It is so groovy, so well-thought out, that on certain rides, sometimes, now and then…I’m going to wear one of my four helmets just so I can use this Brett Flemming masterpiece.” ~ Rivendell Bicycles
“This is absolutely the BEST mirror, hands down, of any I've used. I started using a mirror when I got into touring (1989?). I used to use eyeglass mirrors, but tried this one when we got a sample, and now I can't go back! The size alone justifies this mirror, and it's especially good if you do a lot of riding on city streets or highways. An added bonus (if you consider it a bonus): you'll always have to don your helmet to use the mirror. I give it an enthusiastic thumbs up!” ~ Rich
“Stop over thinking this. You're looking at one that is 3.5x the cost of your last one - because the last one(s) didn't work. The thin wire ones vibrate. The mirrors are unclear. Small sizes requires too much location of the mirror, then focusing and positioning, all while moving. Sound familiar? This one solves it all. Easily positions, no vibration, clear optical reflection and the large size makes it intuitive. Glance left and you instantly can process the view behind you. No searching, focusing, thinking. You've seen it all. Click Buy It Now.” ~ Mark on Amazon
“I both lead and sweep for numerous group, rides so a mirror is a must for me. I've played with the smaller glue on types for years and they have always bothered me with limited vision out of the small mirror, and being unforgiving in placement on the helmet. THIS EVT mirror solved both of those problems. There are provided velcro straps I used until I got the placement on the helmet where I wanted it, and then I used zip ties to secure the mirror, which were also provided. The larger mirror and numerous flexible joints makes it easy to adjust EVEN while riding and best of all it stays put. I was hesitant with the price but this is sturdy, well made and works like a charm and worth every penny.“ ~ David H
“This is my third helmet mirror, and it is my favorite by far! It is much bigger and more stable than the others. My other mirrors both had the following problems: 1) small field of view, 2) vibration when going over a bumpy road, 3) angle slippage, requiring frequent adjustments mid-ride. This mirror solves all those problems. The field of view is fantastic. See attached comparison pics. The swivel arm is rock solid. Doesn't vibrate, doesn't move out of place. Best of all, the stem has independent swivel points, each with just the right amount of stiffness to maintain their own angles. So you can swing the mirror out of view when not needed, and then swing it back into view and the mirror angle is still perfectly aligned. Brilliant! I love this mirror!” ~ Rex on Amazon
