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.

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.
I would say it more suitable for recreation use ...
