For the sun shade, shoot, I'm a cheap bastid. I just went to Walmart and bought a cling-on sun shade that you'd put in your car to keep the sun from baking your toddler. Something like this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Safe-Fit-Safe...gIlrfD_BwE
Then, I just made a paper template for my face shield, and cut out a bunch of them for my helmets. At my last job, I was riding East to work, and West home, so the sun was in my eyes both ways. These strips help a bunch. At first, I tried one that was tinted, but it didn't block out the sun completely. This style is perforated, so it does a great job blocking but you can still see through if needed.
I put the strips on the outside of all of my helmets. Since they are cling-stick, they can be removed if needed. On a few occasions, they have blown off when I turn my head to do a lane change check, but I made a stack of 'em, so when they blow off or wear out, I just stick a new one on. Several strips for less than seven bucks!
Be careful to not have your eyeball or retina scratched/cut from any blown off strips.
That could, ..., suck.
