    I think that really needs a test run before I could say either way. Could be cool, distracting, or junk. Just can't tell until it is on my head for a while.

    I Agree, A DOT approved helmet is not supposed to interfere with your line of sight at all. This seems like the helmet would have to do that in order to allow you to see the mirror itself. I do like the concept of more rear visibility though. So I would have to wear the thing to see what it is all about. Definately not something I would want to buy online without trying on.
