Abstract The invention concerns a sun visor for vehicle such as an automobile. A transparent anti-glare window and a cover for the window is provided in an otherwise opaque sun visor.

Preferably the cover is hingable along a top edge between its positions. A user may either use the sun visor as an opaque unit, with the cover closed, to block glare or may, with the cover open, look through the anti-glare window for better field of vision.
