This isn't for show. It has saved my bacon on at least two occasions where an "invisible" car was cruising in that shitty blind area and I hadn't seen it in the mirrors.
I think that states the case for rear observation quite sucinctly Winston
However as always it is the choice of the individual.
As for the comments (in other posts) re: modern helmets/gear preventing rear observation? I have a Nolan M102 and wear a leather jacket with epulets (patrol style). I have no issues with rear observation. If anyone has a problem due to the chin piece and or the gear they wear? Then I might suggest that you buy a helmet that allows a rear observation, rather than just looks the bizzo (function over fashion statement). If we (riders) dont buy helmets that dont allow a crucial function. The said manufacturer will soon get the message.
