New mirror threadjack: https://www.bugeyes.com/

These have been incredible on my motorcycles. Use one or both. I used one and with a 15 degree turn of the head, I can see clearly behind me. Also was nice in conjunction with a tinted visor to stare at hot chicks at lights. The 3m adhesive is very strong as is the ball/socket joint used to adjust. At an indicated 186mph, the mirror did not budge.

I have not yet made the commitment to put one on my bicycle helmet.

The principle is the same that owls use to fly silently to attack their prey. I liked the design so much, I contacted them to tell them what a great idea it was and to make sure they had some patents pending (they do).

I think I'm gonna give them a try myself.
