Rothco Camping Mirror

Stainless Pocket Mirror

The Rothco Camping Mirror is a 3 x 4 inch sheet of polished stainless steel that does two jobs in the field: you can shave with it at camp, and you can flash sunlight at a search party or your own group if you need to be found. It goes where a glass mirror would break, in a pack lid, a shirt pocket or a survival kit. Hikers, campers, hunters and anyone building a bug-out or emergency kit will find room for it.

Features

• Stainless Steel Construction — The mirror is made of steel rather than glass, so a drop onto rock or a knock inside a pack will not shatter it.
• Rust-Resistant Finish — Stainless steel holds up to sweat, rain and damp storage better than plain steel, which matters for something that may sit in a kit for years.
• Double-Faced Design — Both sides are reflective, so you can use whichever face comes out of the pocket first.
• Signaling Mirror — Angled toward the sun, the polished surface throws a flash of light that can be seen from a distance by aircraft, rescuers or the rest of your party.
• Shaving and Grooming — The mirror is large enough to check your face, shave or deal with something in your eye at camp.
• 3 x 4 Inch Size — At about 3 x 4 inches (7.6 x 10.2 cm), it fits a shirt pocket, a pouch or a compact survival tin.
• Rounded Corners — The corners are radiused, so they are less likely to snag fabric or poke through a pouch.
• Made In Taiwan — Each mirror is manufactured exclusively for Rothco and sold as item #498.

Construction and Size

The mirror is a single flat plate of stainless steel with both faces polished, which keeps it thin and light and leaves no frame to crack or come loose. At 3 x 4 inches, it is big enough to use comfortably for shaving and big enough to throw a useful signal flash. It still slips into the places where kit space is tight. Rothco ships it on a retail card.
