Get a pair of those alien terminator looking glasses old people wear that go over your scripts. Here on Florida's Sun Coast it can get unbearable if riding into the sun for any amount of time so that's what I do.

I did this too once. Now I have a small piece of tint across the top of my shield. Between that, my sunglasses, and the internal drop down tinted shield I can ride and not get blinded by that un-filtered fire orb. Living out West the sun is much more intense.

OP:. Since I assume your half helmet only has the drop down shiled, not a larger outer shield I'd have it tinted with auto type window tint...at least across the top so you can tilt your head and block the low sun
