I carry slap-on vinyl sun shades.
Stick em where you want em.
One lets too much sun through, slap another over top of it.


Back in the days when I was a courier pilot, I used to fly every afternoon out
of RDU to CLT... directly into the setting sun. I used the stick on vinyl sun
shades as well. They worked great and as he mentioned, you can double up for
extra protection.

IIRC, I got mine from Sporty's. They were about the size of an automobile sun
visor but of course they were nowhere near as thick. Here's a link to something
quite similar:
