{"product_id":"rothco-signal-mirror-sighting-hole","title":"Rothco Signal Mirror with Sighting Hole","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Signal Mirror is a glass, scratch-resistant signaling tool for hikers, campers, and anyone building out a survival or emergency kit. A sighting hole with a reflectorized screen lets the user aim reflected sunlight with precision toward a specific target: a rescue aircraft, a distant team member, or another landmark. Two sizes are available: a compact 2\" x 3\" and a larger 4\" x 5\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAimed Signaling, Not Guesswork\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany improvised reflectors produce a broad, unfocused flash that is difficult to direct. The Rothco Signal Mirror's sighting hole and reflectorized screen give the user a reference point to align the reflected beam with a specific target. That alignment matters in search-and-rescue situations where a signal needs to reach a moving aircraft or a specific ground position rather than scatter in all directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eScratch-Resistant Glass Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA signal mirror is only useful if its surface stays clear. The glass construction with scratch-resistant finish means the mirror resists the surface degradation that can come from being carried loose in a pack, rubbed against other gear, or set down on rough terrain. A clouded or scratched mirror produces a weaker, less consistent reflection when conditions already demand the most from the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Sizes for Different Kit Configurations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2\" x 3\" size (SKU RTC-8314, 0.15 lb) fits easily into a shirt pocket, a small first-aid pouch, or a minimalist survival kit where every gram is accounted for. The 4\" x 5\" size (SKU RTC-8315, 0.4 lb) offers a larger reflective surface, which can produce a brighter signal over longer distances and is suited to a larger pack or vehicle emergency kit where bulk is less of a constraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSighting hole with reflectorized screen:\u003c\/strong\u003e enables directed, accurate signaling toward a specific target\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScratch-resistant glass:\u003c\/strong\u003e maintains clear reflective surface through regular pack carry and field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\" x 3\" (0.15 lb) and 4\" x 5\" (0.4 lb) to suit different kit configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e produces a strong, consistent reflected beam in sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSmall (RTC-8314)\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eLarge (RTC-8315)\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2\" x 3\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4\" x 5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.15 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.4 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGlass\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGlass\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSighting hole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes, with reflectorized screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes, with reflectorized screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eScratch-resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTaiwan\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTaiwan\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product contains Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Rothco Signal Mirror suits hikers, campers, backpackers, and anyone assembling a vehicle, boat, or personal emergency kit who wants a lightweight, dedicated signaling tool. The sighting hole makes it more useful than a plain reflective surface for anyone who may need to direct a signal toward a specific target such as a rescue aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe signal mirror is a passive reflector that requires direct sunlight to function. It is not a powered or battery-operated signaling device and does not produce its own light. It is not a substitute for a whistle, radio, or other signaling method in low-light or overcast conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the sighting hole work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Signal Mirror's sighting hole is paired with a reflectorized screen on the back face. The user holds the mirror close to the eye, looks through the sighting hole at the target, and adjusts the mirror angle until the reflected sunlight spot visible through the screen aligns with the target, directing the beam with more precision than a plain mirror allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe 2\" x 3\" Rothco Signal Mirror (RTC-8314, 0.15 lb) is suited to minimalist kits, shirt pockets, and ultralight packs. The 4\" x 5\" version (RTC-8315, 0.4 lb) offers a larger reflective surface for a stronger signal over longer distances and fits well in a larger pack or vehicle emergency kit where the extra size and weight are not a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the mirror work in cloudy conditions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Signal Mirror is a passive reflector that requires direct sunlight to produce a visible signal. In overcast or low-light conditions, the mirror's effectiveness is reduced. Carrying it alongside a whistle or emergency beacon is advisable for situations where sunlight cannot be relied upon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the glass surface durable enough for pack carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Signal Mirror is made from scratch-resistant glass, which resists surface degradation from contact with other gear during pack carry. Storing it in a pouch or sleeve will provide additional protection against impact, since glass can crack under sharp blows even when scratch-resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rothco","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":67126777741683,"sku":"RTC-8314","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":67126777774451,"sku":"RTC-8315","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/8314-HR-sq.jpg?v=1792117081","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/rothco-signal-mirror-sighting-hole","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
