But they blind you when you get down on the drops.

Yesterday evening, my wife and I rode the tandem out to a nearby town to
get dinner. We returned after sunset, happy to have our generator
headlight running.

But the sky still had quite a bit of light, especially as we started
home. In that situation, I find the bill of my cycling cap handy.
Shading the sky's brightness helps with low light vision. And it's even
handier when a car approaches with bright headlights.

The cycling cap makes it easy to adjust the position of the bill so the
glare is blocked but the road surface is visible.

I agree with Joy. Visors or a cap annoyingly block you field of view when riding in the drops or even low on the hoods. They are OK when riding more upright on a utility bike or ATB. I rely on good sunglasses when on my road bike.
