An excellent way to judge whether the overtaking lane is free of traffic prior to veering or turning left. The mirror is of high optical quality and easy to adjust. You need to practice a bit at lowering your shoulder and peering over it, but it's easy to master. It doesn't wobble like handlebar mirrors, or require electronics like radar with its interruprtions and false alarms.
I wore the glasses for the first time on a couple of weekend rides and felt having the mirror was a definite plus. Having vision in only my left eye, it was good to have a rear view without turning my head.
I got started wearing TriEye cycling glasses several years ago. Wore them off and on until they introduced the larger mirrors for the Originals. That made all the difference and I started wearing them all the time. After tuning the mirror adjustment the visibility, safety and stability of their use is game changing. I’ve adopted them for every ride just like the helmet, radar and flashing lights. Also fantastic for group rides to check on the people following your wheel.
Now I’m getting to know the latest version, The View. The new mirror design and size is different from earlier versions. It provides all the advantages of the larger mirror but seems even easier to get adjusted to a full view rearward. I was a bit concerned having a narrow face that they were only offered in the 145mm size. (I’ve been wearing the Originals in 140mm.) But there were no issues at all the new lens design gives more coverage too which I like.
I’ve been riding for over 40 years and understand all the unwritten (and written) “style laws” and stigmas with the old mirror setups. Don’t deny the comfort and security of having unhindered views of what’s coming up behind you. There’s no reason with modern technology to not wear a helmet, put flashing lights on your bike, buy radar and certainly wear a pair of TriEye cycling glasses.
I used an external helmet mounted mirror prior to using the TriEye View. I chose the photochromic lens type due to changing light conditions in my cycling locations. The mirror is easy to adjust and I adapted quickly to the slight "turn and tilt" head movement for scanning behind me. I will be using the dual mirror pair that i also ordered with the polarizing lens type for paddling my OC-1 canoe on the water. I recommend the TriEye View.
Appreciate photo-grey lenses going through tunnels. Appreciate not needing to adjust mirrors once in place. Frame rides well on my nose and ears without sliding down.

A riding buddy showed me his newer larger mirror on his Trieye riding glasses. I was impressed and ordered the new larger mirror to replace my original mirror. Installation was easy and the mirror works great and gives me a larger rear field of vision. I won’t ride the streets without them.
They fits, they are solid and the rearmirror positions stays put.
3 - 7 days and you are familar with the rearmirror. But remember when driving not to relie 100 % on the rearmirror, there are blind spots.
My recommandation - absolutely.😎👍
I purchased 2 of these for myself and sister. They do take a while to get used to but doesn’t take long. I found that I still have to move my head to see behind as the mirror doesn’t quite rotate enough, but lots better than having to rotate your body around and drift into the middle of the road.
The lenses. I bought them both with the Photochromic lenses and we are both very dissatisfied with them as they do not darken enough and only change to a very light smoke effect that you can barely see. They may as well be clear.
Overall:
Design: looks great, nice style, frame looks good
Usability: the mirrors are the main thing here and are the reason I invested in these. The lenses cover your eyes well and stop insects from flying into them.
Lenses: for the extra I paid for these against the quality, I do not recommend them at all.
I’ve just purchased some extra darker lenses with the hope that these will be more useful in the bright light.
The Price: Too much. I was expecting a lot more for this amount and feel let down with what I received. I was expecting a stronger frame, lenses that worked well and darkened when needed. It feels like a gimmick.
I’ll be holding the new lenses up against the sun to see if they are ok before I unpack and fit them.
The Trieye glasses have increased my confidence and safety on the road so much. Even riding on trails, they are nice for awareness of who is comming up behind you or if a ride partner has dropped back. They are great for both group and solo rides. I really appreciate having them when I am tucked in an aero position to see my surroundings without having to get out of position. Same for bombing hills. It is nice to know if a car has crested the hill behind you sooner so you can adjust your lane for them. There is one change I would love to see, so Trieye if you read these, please consider adding an option for a tinted or photochromic mirror, or some kind of UV filter to the mirror. Often, the sun is in a position where it can catch the mirror and hit your eye or your cheek just under your eye and I have even had a mild sunburn just in that spot where the mirror passes light onto my face. Otherwise, this is one of the best cycling safety products. I have bought pairs for several other people as gifts.
These TriEye glasses are of exceptional quality and style,they truly are lifesavers on the road without the excessive turning of your head and usual moving offline on the road between the verge & traffic,also the visual clarity of what’s coming up behind is amazing and is a great early warning if evasive action is required,grateful for this intelligent product,thank you ♥️🙏👍😊
They are good shades and I'm sure the mirror will work as expected but I think it will take a bit of getting used to.
The Delivery was exceptionally quick.
The SunGlasses I use for rowing ( blue filter -twin mirror )
They work really well. To be honest I got use to them within 30 minutes.
The quality is outstanding and that includes the protective case.
Very pleased with the purchase and fully recommend.
My husband and I are road cyclists and got TriEye for Father's Day. We absolutely love them! Totally brings a level of safety to seeing what's coming up from behind us!
I am happy with Trieye. Fast shipping, nice storage case and after 5 or 6 uses I have adjusted to the small mirror. The sunglasses are very nice.
Great! After getting use to them, I don’t leave home without them.
When I first got them I was a little disappointed how small the mirror was, it took a little while to get it adjusted just right but now I love them, TriEye is so comfortable and works very well.
I would not think of cycling without TriEye glasses. They are an excellent piece of kit, essential I would say. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the original lens was quite dark and in winter, too dark. Also, going from sunshine to dark lanes was a problem. The solution, I bought the transition (Photochromic) lens from TriEye. Problem solved.
Finally convinced my wife to wear a pair and she loves them so much that she won't leave home without them.
Product is excellent, but getting used to the mirror while riding takes some practice. The glasses look and feel terrific
