What are folks using for sun visors in aircraft?
Sun Visors

Rosen makes a pretty simple visor, made of fine mesh and held on with 2 suction cups.
dont think I’ve removed it since I stuck it on.
I keep a 1/4 sheet of paper handy and strategicly slide it behind the visor occasionally to block out the sun if flying right into it.

Attachments
Red neck style—have two inch wide Velcro stuck to front of helmet I always wear, I took an old bud light baseball hat, cut everything off the hat except the bud light patch/material above the bill of hat and stitched on Velcro to the backside of the bud light patch
if i I need a visor, I slap the hat to the front of helmet and it acts as a perfect visor, adjust the position/angle of hat as needed

Rosen makes a nice one for the Husky, clamps on one tube and can be moved in all directions. Probably almost the same for a cub.

Simple and cheap $12 Dreambaby retractable window shade. Pull it down when needed and retracts in a second, it self stores.
It's this one. Get rid of the suction cup and mount the housing with Velcro or ........I safetied wired it up.

I really like my Rosen visor. Clamps to the tube and is easily moved where needed and stowed out of the way when not needed.
Here’s another alternative. The Ram mount sun visor. The Rosen visor is the Cadillac but the Ram works as well, just not as elegant. The Ram is easier to take out or relocate and is considerably cheaper......

I have to laugh because your post reminded me of the response I got when I made a post on this subject some 16 years ago. The old guard had similar responses but when I showed up at Murph's camp they all wanted to see my sun visor. 8)

Same thing with my baby shade, I tried a few different ways at blocking the sun before trying what I now have used for 4 years. Everybody laughs when they see what it is, but those that have flown my cub and used it love it.

I saw the photo of your Cub with the shade. I bought one. Haven't installed it yet.
