Safe Zone Customer Reviews
“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“I bought an EVT Safe Zone Mirror several weeks ago. It installed perfectly and is just fantastic in use. A beautiful, thought-out design.”

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.

“Hi and thanks for making your excellent mirrors, which my son and I think are lifesavers, literally.”

“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!”

“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”

“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!”

“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!”

”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.”

“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!”

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.

“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.“

“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!”
