About EVT
Efficient Velo Tools, known as EVT, was established in 1999 by Brett Flemming. The company designs and manufactures its own line of US-made, industrial-style bicycle shop tools: repair stands, bearing and drivetrain tools, inflation tools, and wheel-building equipment, sold direct from its facility in Washougal, Washington and through bicycle retailers.
Among EVT's catalog is the Safe Zone Helmet Mirror, a helmet-clip mirror built around a 2.25-inch round face and a linked arm engineered to hold its adjusted position rather than drift during a ride. EVT states the mirror is made in the USA and backs it with a five-year no-fault warranty. The mirror is designed and marketed for bicycle helmets; some riders use it on motorcycle helmets as well, generally at moderate rather than highway speeds, where the wider viewing area matters more than a low-profile shape.

EVT products we rated highly
Safe Zone Bicycle Helmet Mirror by EVT
A 2.25-inch round mirror face gives a wide field of view for a helmet-mounted mirror, and the linked-arm design is built to hold its adjusted position rather than creep out of alignment ride after ride. The mirror is made in the USA and backed by a five-year no-fault warranty. The listing is framed around bicycle helmets, so a rider adapting it to a motorcycle helmet should confirm the clip or base finds a secure purchase on their own shell, and should expect the bulkier profile to catch more wind at sustained highway speed than a low-profile mirror would.
