You find them at Sportys or auto parts for example. Easy to apply-just
"slap on" and they stay put. Use it over and over just by peeling off
and slapping on again.
Have you guys found this type of visor easy to use?
If not, what do you use to protect yourself under your canopy?
Thanks

I have 4 in my Columbia. They work well when they stick but the more the
surface is curved the worse they seem to be for staying put. The small ones
are cheap so worth a try. It would seem to me that when flying a long way
in one direction that they would make more sense but in soaring where we are
constantly turning and circling that maybe it would be more difficult to
place well. They also leave greasy marks on the plexiglass from the
handprints of the frequent application and reapplication.....esp when they
don't stick well and you must readjust.

How does one perform effective visual scanning with these things stuck
on the canopy? Why not just stick with proper clothing, hat, and
sunglasses?
