This does work a treat. Perfect to spot a car from far.

I have one too, really good though it took a while to use it effectively.

Think I prefer this over the one fitted to a helmet.

Less bulky on the glove

Since being able to turn my head almost fully back for a quick glance with no loss of balance, I’ve not used either, but I tried both helmet and wrist mirrors before I could do that. Wrist mirrors every time! I found helmet mirrors a) hard to secure to the helmet so they stayed perfectly aligned and b) impossible to get a clear view on rough roads due to the vibrations.

As soon as I started using the wrist mirror I realised it was a far more reliable solution and I could actually see behind me at last!

I use that too ... but spotting a car from far is difficult, especially at prevailing weather conditions. Like it anyway.

Off topic: Didn't know the Lads-Thing and googled :-)

A growing culture of “laddishness” among school girls is based on a fear of failure according to a study from Lancaster University.
Dr Carolyn Jackson from the Department of Educational Research interviewed more than 200 pupils aged between 13 and 14 at schools in northern England for her book “Lads and Ladettes in Schools”.She found that some girls are smoking, drinking, swearing and disrupting lessons for fear of being considered unpopular and “uncool”.

Dr Jackson said: “The girls I interviewed suggested that it’s “uncool” for girls to work hard; this counters common perceptions that it’s OK for girls to work but uncool for boys”.
Teachers reported increasing cheekiness from girls, more answering back, and said that their rudeness is often now more ‘in your face’.One teacher said girls’ behaviours had got worse even in the six years since she began her career.... "

Lol

As a social phenomenon it started to become ‘a thing’ over in the U.K. with the Riot Grrl movement and then ‘girl power’ made popular by the Spice Girls. The presence of strong female role models behaving like boys in popular culture soon filtered down into society and you first started hearing about groups of girls getting drunk and behaving badly in the streets just like their male counterparts. This would become known as ‘ladette culture’ and is now referenced as a normal stage of life for girls if they want to adopt it.

It must be said however that it goes hand in hand with a general upward trajectory in female empowerment in all walks of life and ‘ladette’ behaviour may just be a reflection of the new found pressures of career vs. family responsibilities that men have felt over the years.

I use a mirror on the side of my helmet, both work well its important to use a mirror to be aware of what is going on at all times around you
