What do you dislike about helmet mounted mirrors? The one thing I disliked about them was having to be careful how you handled your helmet when off, so as not to bang up the fragile mirror. I now use a Take-A-Look mirror velcro'd to my helmet since it folds up safely and securely out of the way, able to toss my helmet in a bag. Also use a small TAL on my eye glasses if riding w/o helmet.

Curious how barend mirror work on the Brompton M-bar when folded given that the left barend is near dragging on ground? Also, if I read your post correctly, you maybe assuming that you need to refocus ON the helmet mirror inches from your face - but you don't, you use your same distance focus for the mirror, as for looking forward - you focus 1:1 on the cars behind you. I am near sighted, use progressive lens, and helmet/eyeglass mirrors work great for me.
