Interesting... I wonder if this would be distracting....

No more so than the bike's side mirrors, or the rear view mirror in a car...and a lot LESS than the college co-ed walking along the sidewalk in a halter top in summer time! (Just one example).

Back to the helmet: I like it. Wish I could afford one.

No worries. Get on an Xbox, Playstation, or Wii and play some 1st person driving/racing games. You'll find the rear view is both easy to see/use, easy to MISS, and quite easy enough to simply ignore.

Been around for many years. Not sure it's ever gotten to market.

I don't think I'd buy it unless it had been reviewed by actual bikers instead of deskbound reviewers.

Would be nice to see the passengers face from time to time.

I have a helmet mounted mirror on my bicycle helmet. it was easy to get use to but with mirrors on the bike I can't see a need for this

I like it. And it doesn't seem to be all that expensive when compared to other Modular helmets. I think anything that increases a riders field of view is great.

I can see this one situation where this thing would beat side mirrors all to hell. Sitting at a red light. Whereas you might not be looking at your mirrors, you just might notice something coming at you a little to hot from behind with this thing on.

I'd be curious to see what effect it creates at night with headlights behind you. I can see that actually being a problem.

Intriguing...

In this video they are reporting upon a new helmet with a rearview display built into it.
