Hasta La Gadget!

The Messenger Mirror is as about as simple as a gadget can get. It’s a small, half-inch glass mirror hanging on the end of a six and a half inch wire. You attach it to your specs or shades and you have instant rear-view, wherever your head might be pointing, at the flick of an eye.

It’s cheap, too, an important part of the design. Bruce, who makes them, came up with the mirror in response to the rather expensive solutions already out there. We like it, especially the simple homemade vibe it gives off. In crazy traffic when you’re speeding between lanes, it’s very handy to know what’s behind you, but not always so safe to turn your head. And bar-end mirrors just look dorky, so the head-mount is certainly our favorite way to go. US only, available now.
