It's the same glass I think many people were less fond of the built in shade. I have the previous "preferred" version with the removeable reversible shade but am not fond of the way it flies off and goes rolling down the sidewalk when you brush up against something. It's design though seems to have taken a lot of thought. It shades a lot more than the built in (it's job after all) and has cut outs put it where it is needed. Mark Rabiner
