I wear a headset (I own a Telex; have used a Dave Clark also),
occasionally wear glasses when I fly (wire-rimmed "aviator-
type"), and am work on my instrument ticket.  I use one of the
small white plastic hoods with elastic that goes 'round the head,
the headset, everything -- most important, though, it goes on
OVER the headset.  It's very comfortable, light weight, and does
indeed restrict the field of vision.

I have noticed that in Cessnas, anyway, putting a folded-up map
on the pilot's side of the windshield wrap-around is necessary to
fully block out the left corner of my vision.

No, this hood does NOT pivot (as some of the larger, plastic
adjustable headband types do).  What do you do at DH?  You either
just look up, or pull off the hood and toss it at your instructor!
