Pros and cons
Corky Urban Helmet Mirror
Pros
- Field of view follows head movement — more active rear vision than a fixed bar mirror
- No handlebar real estate needed — ideal when the bar is full of computers and bells
- Lightweight (22 g) — barely felt on the helmet
- Ball joint allows fine-tuning to the degree
Cons
- 3M adhesive pad lasts two to three years before it needs moving or replacing
- Small lens takes practice to use quickly under load
Hafny Bar End Mirror
Pros
- Stainless-steel lens cannot shatter like glass — drop-resistant
- Wide-angle geometry gives ~30° field of view, more than standard convex
- Bar-end mounting with expander bolt — stable image even on rougher surfaces
- Sharp pricing around 15 euros, significantly below B&M level
Cons
- Stainless-steel reflection is slightly darker than glass, especially in dusk and rain
- Wider field of view shrinks objects — judging distance takes getting used to
