RE: Sun in your face while in stand
I have stands such as yours. When the sun is in my face, I always wear a camoflauge baseball style cap with a camo headnet underneath it. When the sun is just about ready to go down, I turn my hat backwards. This way when the deer start comming out, I can draw my bow back without the bill of my hat in the way.

Very intresting observation slo-bo, about the pic of the guy in the tree. I also wear glasses. I am also more concerned about wind direction. But as for the sun in my face, I wear a mask and a small brimmed hat pulled down to block the sun should it be in my face.

Check the wild first. Then try setting up facing south or north. Most of the time I face the south or southwest. However I do practice shooting with the sun in my face in case I do have to take that shot.

RE: Sun in your face while in stand
I try to always set up my stands facing the north for two reasons. #1. The angle of the earth in the northern hemisphere during the short winter days never hits the north side of the tree,...thus no sun in the eyes. #2. Because of #1,....I'm always in the "shadow" side of the tree for better camouflage.
A hat with a rim does wonders if you can't face the north.
