Default Tinted canopies

Using prescription "photobrown" tinted glasses, and the canopy is tinted if I can help it. Alle ist gut.
But flying mostly Southwestern USA or NSW, Australia it seems to me that the heat under a clear canopy is a handicap.
The only time I can remember wishing for a clear canopy was for perhaps 5 minutes when a storm ended a SE ridge flight in Pennsylvania. Wipers would have been more of an improvement.
