Coghlan's Featherweight Shatterproof Acrylic Mirror

It works well and is very sturdy. It is flat and about the width of a cell phone but not as tall so it will easily fit in your pocket. A fellow nurse advised I get a “camping mirror” for showing my patients how to care for their ostomy. I needed a sturdy plastic mirror and this was the closest product that came up in my search results (it looked exactly like hers). Unfortunately, I forgot to check the dimensions first and it is way too small for my needs. I was able to find what I needed by searching for a “teaching mirror”. I just hope it will be as durable as this one!

Owned this for 9 or 10 months, over time the coated back surface will get scratched unless you protect it. In my case I painted it with a textured wrinkle finish black spray paint. It took all of 2 minutes to paint and is saving the back face from being scared. Scratching the back surface removes the reflective properties so it should be protected. Either that or you can use contact paper instead of painting it. Heck for the price plus a touch of spray paint it's fine. Pocket sized and no worries about dropping it and it's very light weight so it perfect for travel, camping, a second hand held lavatory mirror or simply driving the neighbors cat nuts (hahaha) it's worth it. Perfect for Morse Code between groups hiking on a hillside or simply signaling. For being acrylic plastic I was surprised to see it reflect nearly as good as glass.

Currently I have braces and I am very insecure about things being stuck in my braces. I wanted a small, lightweight mirror to check if anything was stuck in my braces. This works very well in my briefcase, it is so light that I can't tell that I am carrying it. It's made of acrylic and not glass, so it will not shatter or break the same way glass does. Isn't as heavy either. Works well for the intended purpose that I bought it. Would be great for makeup or shaving while traveling. I really like it. The only thing I dock a star for is not being as versatile as actual glass or the polished stainless steel plates. I would not use this as a survival mirror, personally. I do not think this is intended to be a signal mirror, it might be able to used as such in a pinch. Haven't tried to make a fire with it either. Buy an actual signal mirror for your bug out/emergency/disaster kit.

Combine this product with a 3/4-inch mini suction cup hook for the perfect shower shave mirror. If you shave in the shower, you know how hard it is to find a good mirror. Look no further, this is the solution you've been waiting for! It's minimalist, unobtrusive, easy to clean, and won't break. When hung from a mini suction cup hook, airflow behind the mirror keeps the surface warm which inhibits condensation/fogging. Even one-handed, it required zero effort to take it off the hook, rinse it under the water, and re-hang it. You can spend $40 on a fancy mirror with high-tech coatings, hooks and shelves for your shaving products, and wi-fi connectivity to automatically re-order your razor blades, but I guarantee that you won't get a better shave than you will with this $4 product. Buy one for home and one for travel. You won't regret it!

Best travel mirror on market. It is very clear, VERY big for a purse mirror, and more light weight than any other purse mirror out there. One problem: I bought my first one of these maybe 5 years ago. I put it in my purse makeup pouch. The makeup pencils and sticks rub up on it, and it gets cloudy and unusable. So then I began keeping the mirror in a tiny zip loc bag. It STILL got clouded up. So I ordered a new mirror , this order, and I am going to try keeping it in a harder plastic packaging. I had old plastic from a small umbrella, so I am trying that. But don't let this problem deter you. The mirror is so cheap, you can afford to keep replacing it if necessary. Also, maybe my new packaging will work. My message to the manufacturer is, they should provide a stiff, clear pouch for it, themselves.

Mirrors are an underrated item for camping and backpacking. Sure, you can use your phone for some tasks, but you will never get the proper angle or clarity staring at the selfie camera compared to a mirror. Got something in your teeth, need to check something on your face, signal for rescue, look for a tick in your nether regions? This has you covered. I keep it in my boo-boo kit in my hiking daypack. It adds structure to a tiny stuff sack and adds minimal weight.

I calibrated two scales and weighed it. Package says 12.5g (the entire point of this is that it is very light). Actual weight 18.1g. That is roughly 150% of the weight advertised right on the package. Most people would say what is the difference if its just a few grams, but when you have a very limited maximum bag weight when traveling, grams add up fast. I'm not sending it back or anything. Its fine for what I need, but it may not be for someone else who was expecting the listed weight and is under tighter weight constraints than I am. Not sure if somebody at Coghlan's screwed up, or if its perhaps a counterfeit product. Either way, a bit of mirror tint (can find here on amazon or elsewhere for cheap) on a piece of plastic from some packaging will be lighter and work just as well if you really need something light weight.

Love it, compact and great to use

No hay mucho que decir, un espejo flexible para llevar en mochilas sin miedo a que se rompa. Cumple perfecto su cometido.

Es muy útil, no pesa nada... No es de vidrio, no es peligroso, se ve igual que un espejo convencional. Muy buen producto.

Absolutely perfect featherweight mirror for camping or hiking. Ultralight hikers may not think this is something they want or need in their pack but this is one of those items that you don't even notice you are carrying.

Was soll man groß sagen – es ist ein Spiegel, aber perfekt für unterwegs. Mit nur 15 g Gewicht und aus Acryl gefertigt ist er superleicht und geht im Rucksack nicht so schnell kaputt. Ich nutze ihn auf Touren, vor allem zum Einsetzen meiner Kontaktlinsen, und dafür ist er perfekt geeignet. Kleine Kratzer sind inzwischen vorhanden, stören mich aber nicht. Kompakt, funktional, zufrieden.

These are the best mirrors I have purchased for sticking in my pocket or bag. My husband customises them by cuttIing them into 2 or 3 pieces, and rounding off the edges and they fit neatly into my pocket, but are much lighter and obviously more robust than glass mirrors. I put a coat of nail polish on the back of them and they last for ages. But even used at full size, they are handy and so light.
