I’ve worn a helmet mirror and it worked fine..I looked goofy. But these glasses are spectacular! I was able to dial in my view pretty quickly. I was a little concerned the red lense was gonna be too dark on cloudy days but that wasn’t the case at all. I’ve worn them road cycling, gravel riding and mountain biking. I’ve even worn them walking the dog cuz I just like to know what’s going on behind me. I feel less vulnerable that way. I purchased the small frame and I think they look great!
View Sport Standard - Cycling Glasses with Mirror
As mentioned in many other reviews, it does take some time to get used to and optimally adjusted. Since the mirror is much closer to your eye, it does provide a much clearer view behind you than my previous bar end mounted mirror. However, being a small mirror on the glasses makes it sensitive to your head movement and positioning. That has been my biggest adjustment factor. There is no single mirror position adjustment that is optimal for the different positions on the bike. I have my mirror pretty dialed in for when I am on the hoods since that is the position I am in a majority of the time. When in the drops however, your head is angled down slightly so you just see the sky in the mirror. You have to raise your head intently to glance behind you.
To me they aren't the most stylish glasses, but I am more interested in the vision they provide than how I look.
The glasses are of high quality. I got the Black Smoke High Contrast lens (which I think just means Polarized) and the view through them is vivid.
Overall I like the glasses, they provide a better view behind me than the bar end mirror I had previously.
It’s very good product but you do need to constantly adjust to get to optimal angle every cyclist pro or amateur should have one of these it will save your life haven’t dropped it yet I wonder how it will hold up
These are very good quality cycling glasses. In my experience, it does take time to acclimate to the mirror, adjusting etc. But I find it very usable. I have used no other mirror options. The chromatic lenses work well, and the design provides good ventilation-always a plus-and wind protection.
I have a pair of Trieye from 2019 which I bought for riding my bike, I must admit that I was just about to write to ask for a larger mirror and for options with wider size of the sunglasses as I experienced that my wife and myself have a different size needs which (in my case) provides less rear visibility with the mirror.
The quality of the sunglasses is very good. Please confirm if sizes are available.
This the second pair I've purchased. After wearing them for several rides, I'm in love with them.
As an aging rower who finds it increasingly difficult to turn my head, I've tried many different mirrors. TriEye glasses with transition lenses have been by far the best option. I'm especially impressed with the quality of the mirrors. Now I hope to row until I'm 100+.
The glasses are awesome……… I would’ve like a different color only because they are darker than I thought and I like people to see my eyes …. Maybe the next Tri Eyes I purchase😀 I highly recommend!!!
I'm pleasantly surprised how clear the rearview mirror is and how easy it is to adjust, and how comfortable the glasses are! I always ride with a Garmin Varia radar so I know when vehicles are approaching...but these sunglasses give me added safety and peace of mind.
The mirror takes a little time to get used to and to adjust but it works well. I wish the lense were polarized.
I’m a 66 yr old dude who lives in Fl. Ride an E-bike and a we all ride scooters. Perfect for seeing if a car is behind you! The best !

Love the glasses I would recommend them to all cyclists and even runners!!!
It takes a few rides to get the mirror adjusted to my liking.
otherwise very good!!!
Tried these after being tired of using a mirror attached to my helmet. While rear-view visibility isn’t as broad or easy as with my helmet mirror, I’m getting accustomed to these glasses and do prefer them. Also, I have a small face, so many sunglasses don’t work for me with my helmet. The small size glasses do work.
The glasses perform as described by TriEye. After a trial & error adjustment of the mirror, I have very good view behind me with a very slight turn of the head to the left. For commuters, it may be an issue if you have a backpack. My stance is between upright and leaning forward. For reference, I have a "fitness" bike which is almost road geometry with flat bar, Canyon Roadlite CF 9 LTD. The glasses really make me feel way more comfortable when I am on the road.
I've used rear view mirrors hung on the temple of my sunglasses on and off for thirty years, but with the development of limited mobility in my neck their use has become mandatory.. My riding is 100% on the road during day time on both the city and on country roads. The problems with rear view mirrors hung on the temples of sunglasses are(1) there is always the sensation that there is something to left which is constricting the view (2) riding East into early morning sun, if the sun is at the 10:00 - 11:00 position, you can be blinded by the sun when you try to look into the mirror. Neither of these situations arise with the TriEye. There are short learning curves to learn to briefly twist your neck when you want to use the mirror, and to adjust the mirror to how you hold your head when you ride..The weight of the mirror is negligible and does not cause the sunglasses to rotate while riding.
Really like these glasses! I've been looking for a way to use a mirror when cycling on the road, and because I have a couple of different bikes I didn't want one that mounted on my handlebars, and thought it best not to use one that clips onto my helmet/glasses because I just know I'll forget it/lose it/break it. I always wear glasses, so these are always with me no matter which bike I'm riding. Very easy to use, I sometimes adjust the mirror on the fly depending what I'm wearing (hood/snood/balaclava/helmet) and I can see past it all with no trouble by just angling the mirror out a touch more.
And yes just in case you're one of those people, they're entirely useable on a unicycle!
Best mirror and glasses I have ever owned. Easy to adjust and confortable to wear.
Excellent review field of view, minimal intrusion onto forward view. Stable. Quick to learn the head motion required to see traffic (or race competitors or even lagging dogs ona walk) behind. Lens sharpness is very good - comparable to my much more expensive Oakley Prizm's. Durability in routine use seems good. Haven't yet tested in face first crash.
The Photochromatic glasses definitely darkened when the sun came out. The right side was great. The left side took some getting used to. I would still turn look over my shoulder but the mirrors were good if I was just cruising. Glad I bought them.
