Too small and too far away. Lately, I've just been attaching 3" pocket mirrors to my glove with velcro. Wouldn't work well on an upright, but it's perfect on a recumbent.

I ride a flat bar bike while in traffic... and my bar end mirror is wonderful. I actually feel naked without it, as I am so used to using it. I like the design of this rearvis idea as frankly one should use whatever suits you best, and whatever gives you good situational awareness.

Interesting concept but my wife tried it and she doesn't really like it. She rides a road bike with aero bars and could not find a position that works well in both positions. It's more of an either or thing. If you stay locked in one position I think it's fine but I just don't see too many people doing that. She ordered a small so it isn't big enough for my arm so I haven't really tried it out. It fits on my wrist but it doesn't really give me a good rear view like that. It's also a little too rigid for my liking. I would have thought the base could have been a little more flexible to give a more comfortable fit.
