I commuted to work for years with a helmet mounted mirror. The TriEyeis much better!
This is a great innovation. I feel like this is going to be a huge improvement. The little window in the side is easy to get used to using. Slight movements of your head allows a scan around behind you.
Thank you Ken — and you've described the knack exactly. Small head movements rather than staring at it. That's the bit that takes a few rides to click.
Glad it's working for you.

Had a warranty covered problem.
Camille, in Customer Service quickly issued me a replacement.
Thank you Cheryl, that's good to hear. Glad the replacement got to you without any fuss.

Now that I have them I love them. I use them for rowing, biking, and steering dragonboats, and it's so nice to be able to see all my surroundings by only slightly turning my head. The build and lens quality are quite good too. The only thing that stops me from recommending them to everyone I meet is the shipping. They're not very upfront about the fact that they ship from mainland China, and as a result my order got stuck at customs for two months and counting. After a month and nagging a few times, they eventually sent a replacement. It turned out fine in the end, but still, it's pretty frustrating at this sort of high price point.
Hi Cooper,
Thanks for the review, and glad the glasses have won you over — rowing, biking and dragonboats is about as thorough a test as they'll get.
On the shipping: your parcel got stuck in customs, which happens to a small number of shipments and isn't something we control. Parcels go missing every day, on every route, with every carrier. Yours was unlucky.
What we could control was making sure you ended up with what you paid for, and we sent a replacement to do exactly that.
Fair point about being clearer on where orders ship from, though — we'll look at that.
Enjoy them.

This is my second pair first pair is over eight years old. The larger mirror is very helpful. You will not need any other ridding glasses or a add on mirror on your bike.
Hi Dave,
Eight years on the first pair is the best endorsement we could ask for — thank you.
And glad the larger mirror is doing its job. It's one of the cheapest upgrades we sell and it makes more difference than people expect.
Enjoy the second pair. Here's to another eight years.

I have been using Trieye glasses for cycling for 1-month and am really pleased. It took me 1 maybe 2 rides to get the mirror in the best position and after that much safer cycling.
Thanks Craig — a ride or two to dial in the position is exactly right, and you got there quicker than most. Glad they're making a difference.

After some initial difficulty positioning the rear-view mirror correctly, partly because of my backpack, which I then adjusted to sit lower, I think the glasses are fantastic and provide a significant additional level of safety.
I would highly recommend these glasses to anyone who frequently rides on roads with traffic. I also use them to see where my friends are behind me 😊
Hi Alexander, thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear the glasses are enhancing your safety and enjoyment on your rides. Happy cycling!Hi,
Thank you for this — and the backpack detail is a good one. Not something we'd have thought to warn people about, but it makes complete sense that a high-riding pack would sit right in the mirror's line. Sensible fix, too.
Glad it clicked for you. And keeping an eye on where your friends are behind you is a use we hear a lot — mostly from people checking whether they've dropped someone, or whether someone's about to drop them.
Enjoy the trails.

Really clear. Much better than my helmet mirror
Hi Mike, we're thrilled to hear you find The View clearer than your helmet mirror! Thanks for sharing your experience.
These are the game changer in cycling safety. Absolutely brilliant!! Lightweight, the mirror is perfectly positioned and the photocromic tint of the lenses is very good. Every cyclist should own a pair of these. I will not ride without them.
I am pleased that the glasses and the insert effectively resolved one of my biggest weaknesses - looking back. I rely on the Garmin varia and this completes the package.
The classic is a perfect addition to my cycling gear. I've tried numerous mirrors, including on my helmet and handlebar. The TriEye Classic is the solution for which I have been searching.
I am a little nervous on roads which is not helped by my stiff neck which makes it really troublesome in looking behind. These take a couple of rides to get used to but I have found them really beneficial and a great help in seeing what's behind me as I ride
I decided to try the Tri-Eye Black Classic Cycling glasses after using my View Sport Revo Max glasses almost daily for about a year.
I love them both! I spend time riding in the Hill Country around Austin with the Revo Max's and I find they are better for long rides and on hills. I also spend part of the year in Northern Indiana / Southwest Michigan where it is much flatter, and my rides are shorter and the Classic Cycling glasses are perfect for there.
In both cases, the mirror technology is incredible. I have recommended them to riding friends and everyone agrees that the crispness of the rear-view mirror cannot be beat.
On the occasions where I don't have my Tri-Eyes with me, it is very difficult to not be worried about what's behind me which is the main reason I bought the second pair.
Again, highly recommended product!!
I don’t understand why every cyclist doesn’t use these, including, or especially, pro cyclists.
Love these. My man just bought a pair. I ride with a fast group and trieye makes me feel safe seeing who & what’s behind me. It takes a bit to figure out what angles you need while riding, making one feel more engaged in their personal experience. I got pink. They work great in sun & shade. Thanks trieye. I’m be recommending these to everyone I know!!😎
I’ve been walking early in the morning for a long time in a sidewalk no problem. Unfortunately we walkers have experienced the explosion of electric vehicles bikes and scooters. These drivers come up upon me, walking in solitude, going 35mph and I swear the almost purposeful try to scare people. A very dangerous situation.
So I looked around for a solution and found TriEye and honestly they have been a lifesaver. No longer can speeding kids on a skateboard come up on me and scare me. Thanks TriEye!
I'm still getting used to my Trieye sunglasses but they are working out to be tremendous for rowing. Bag should be bigger in the case to accommodate the mirrors. But the glasses are great and I've heard the same thing from my fellow rowers with the double mirror glasses and my biking friends with the single mirrors glasses.
I was inspired to see the Tri-Eye glasses as, like every cyclist, it’s important to know what’s behind you. Mirror solutions are awkward, bulky, fragile things normally.
So I thought I would look into these by checking reviews before buying. These seemed to support a positive experience. So I went ahead.
I have to say that they are brilliant. I would honestly never ride without them now. I’m much more confident and safer because of them.
Thank you - an exceptional invention. Well done!
Hi,
What a review to read — thank you!
'Awkward, bulky, fragile things' is exactly the problem our founder set out to solve after being hit from behind on a ride in Norway, so it's genuinely rewarding to hear it's landed that way for you.
Enjoy the rides, and thank you for taking the time to write this.
Best regards,
Camilla / TriEye
Great sun glasses and rearview mirror. They take a little getting use to, but not long. Once adjusted, mirror stays put. I like the big size of the glasses. Super light. Just go a call from my optometrist and the lenses are high quality and good for my eyes. Enough said.
