Okay, so I've been using this car sun shade for about a month now, and here's the tea ☕️
First off, the quality is actually impressive. The material feels thick and durable, not like those flimsy silver ones that tear after two uses. It's held up well against some brutal afternoon sun sessions.
The umbrella mechanism is kinda genius but also kinda annoying? Like, it's super convenient to pop open, but in my Honda Civic, it does bump against my touchscreen. Pro tip: open it outside the car first!
Temperature difference is NO JOKE. Came back to my car after work yesterday - usually it's like walking into an oven, but with this shade? Maybe just a warm toaster. Huge difference.
One weird thing - the metal ribs do get crazy hot. Learned that the hard way when I went to fold it up after a 95°F day. Ouch. Now I keep gloves in my door pocket just for this.
Storage is awesome though. Folds down small enough to fit in my glove compartment, which my old accordion-style shade could never do.
Would I buy again? Absolutely, but with the warning that it takes some getting used to. 4.5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
