鏡面そのものは良く反射するので、120m位先の壁に反射光が当たっているのも目視できました。しかしペラペラでしっかり持つと歪みます。歪むと反射光があからさまに弱くなってしまうので、硬いミラーの方がいいかも、と思いました。

思っていた1.5倍ぐらいの大きさで、財布などに入れるのは厳しい。反射はしっかりとしているが、薄くペラペラの素材なので歪んで映り、鏡としての使用は難しいかも。普段からの持ち運びには向かないが、緊急事態用のシグナルミラーとしては十分に使えそう。アウトドア活動をする際には鞄に忍ばせておくと良い感じです。

For the ultimate lightweight backpacker, this is great. However, I am not in that category and do want to use this mirror for more than emergency signaling (never been there yet). I have noticed that when the mirror got hot, the reflection got distorted. It would have been better for me to have gotten a more substantial mirror, which is what I was really looking for.The Seller contacted me and offered a refund. I declined as I decided on another use for the mirror. I am very pleased with the seller.

Was looking for a compact mirror to carry in my day pack. Most others were too big and bulky. Not only is this a signaling mirror, but perfect for my needs.

This is an excellent addition to my camping and emergency gear! I like that it is larger than most "survival signal mirrors" in surface area but it's way thinner so it takes up less space and weight.As a comparison, a lot of the small "survival signal mirrors" are about 1 1/2 " x 2", for a total surface area of 3 square inches. This one is 4.3" x 3.1", or 13 1/2 square inches. That's over 4x the surface area, which translates into your signal carrying a significantly further distance. It also weighs just a fraction less.The mirror fits well inside a Maxpedition Micro pocket organizer. I have a photo attached... do you see the mirror? NOPE! Because it's tucked behind the light blue bandanna in the left pocket.

The standard, accurate way to aim a signal mirror requires a hole in the center and a reflective back side on the mirror (so you can see the spot the sun makes, via the hole, on your face). This mirror has the hole... but the back side is an unreflective, flat grey. You can't sight the mirror.Otherwise, it's a fine, lightweight plastic mirror with an aluminised front surface. It would work fine as, say, a camp mirror for shaving.

But way too thin, If it happens to survive shipping, you are lucky, mine was not packaged very well and had a large crack across the top section (long-wise) I had to glue it to some card board to salvage it. It is very thin and easily broken and shipped in a simple paper mailer so if it get bent in the mail, oh well it will be broken when you get it. It needs to be shipped inside some thick stiff cardboard or something that is not easily bent just to survive shipment. Maybe this will prompt someone to make shipping changes. I liked the size of the mirror, but It is not worth it since it is way too fragile especially for camping.

This is a ridiculously lightweight mirror, weighed in at just over 1oz. I carried it with me on backcountry hiking, and it held up very well in a very tightly and abused pack. It's just plastic/acrylic with a reflective backing, not like a real mirror, but that is definitely a plus. Worked well as a personal mirror and probably would've been sufficient for a kind of signal mirror. The hole in the center of it is supposed to help you aim while reflecting light off of it - used as a signal. A little overpriced, but it was half the weight of any other mirror out there, and hoping it'll last a few seasons before it breaks.
