We got the opportunity to try out Jet Shades today. I found them to be perfect for me. We flew from Northern California to Arizona (E25), a low VFR flight from E25 to KHII, and back to NorCal which allowed us to try them at high altitudes as well as low. I was amazed at how much heat the light shades block! Our flight was very comfortable with the morning sun coming in the side window yet I didn’t have the feeling it was too dark to watch for traffic. Our low VFR flight, in the hot AZ sun, was also very comfortable. We had the AC running for that flight and I even had to adjust the blower away from me as it felt a little cool. We left them on the entire flight–takeoff, inflight, landing and taxiing. We also left them on with the foil shades between the window and Jet Shades while we were on the ground fueling. Found them very easy to handle that way and also felt the front ones helped anchor the foil shades better keeping them from falling inward. We will likely leave them on at all times except parking outside on the ramp for more than a few minutes (except with the foil shades on as well.) A huge shout out to Kevin Duggan who wanted me to be happy with my Jet Shades. It worked!
