Default See behind you helmet

Is anyone using the latest helmet which has built in mirrors that allow you to see behind without
having to move your head. If so, what is it like aerodynamically, is it suitable for road racing.

I haven't seen them, but I can say that I hate helmet- or glasses-mounted rear view mirrors. I think
they obstruct my vision more than they allow me to see behind me any better. Besides, I don't want
to lose the habit of doing shoulder-checks.

I find handlebar-mounted rearview mirrors useful on long trips on country roads, but don't use them
for normal city riding.
