Why Use a Signal Mirror?

Signal mirrors have unmatched effectiveness for search and rescue operations because of how simple and inexpensive they are.

A Navy Search and Rescue helicopter pilot listed a signal mirror as the best gear to signal for rescue. They described the signal mirror as cheap, never runs out of batteries, works extremely well on sunny days, and is still effective on overcast days. In their experience, a signal mirror “WILL get the attention of a pilot/boat” in an emergency.

The US Coast Guard Auxiliary recommends “the first item we recommend you attaching to your PFD is a signal mirror”, highlighting the importance of a mirror for rescue operations.
