Great mirror for wildlife tracking!
These little mirrors are great for wildlife biologists! Seeing detail in wildlife tracks is difficult when the sun is directly overhead, so I use these mirrors to reflect sun onto the tracks from the side. The tracks suddenly pop out with great shadows and highlights, and this relief allows me to identify and photograph the tracks. I also use these mirrors to reflect light into dark tunnels, burrows, or caves to see what wildlife might be hiding within. My only real qualm with these mirrors is that they scratch with incredible ease. I wish Coghlan's would include a scratch-resistant coating on the mirrors. You may wish to purchase screen protectors designed for cell phones and cut them to the proper size for the mirror. Overall, this is a great product!
Very handy
I bought this to put in my bag for several reasons. 1. Can use it for signaling 2. Can use it to help start a fire. 3. It works great when you need to look for ticks. Have manly used it to look for ticks but have also used it for starting a fire and it works great! Very happy with my purchase!
Good, strong, and light, mirror
Great strong light mirror, I would say it's unbreakable in any reasonable situation, however, upon seeing the "unbreakable" feature, my friend managed to snap it in half with his body weight...so..ya. I'll be ordering another one.
Great lightweight mirror
I purchased several of these mirrors to put in the survival kits that I made for family members. They are good for personal hygiene and checking for ticks. Even though there is no hole in the center, it can also be used to signal for help.
Excellent Mirror
This is a very lightweight mirror that I use for hygiene purposes. It is unbreakable and very compact and thin. It could double as a signal mirror should I lose my purpose-built signal mirror: I would only just reflect light on the back of my other hand while it is lined up with the target before flashing, because there is no aiming hole.
Don’t recommend
The reflective film started to peel off the plastic within the first week. It works well, but made cheaply.
Love it!
Love it! I try to be as close to a minimalist as possible, but this is my one luxery item. Being a contact wearer, it is nice to be able to see when putting them in and taking them out. Just be sure to wash the deet off of your fingers 1st!
Destroyed by water
Nice little mirror but if moisture or water gets on it, it can ruin the product. It was hard to keep dry on trail for me.
Great for Changing Contacts
Used this for changing contacts out in the wilderness. It worked really nicely, and I didn't have to be too gentle with it.
Gets the job done
This little guy gets the job done. I wanted something small, lightweight and non breakable for camping/backpacking trips and this fits the bill. It came with a few smaller scratches on it, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 but it really isn't a problem.
