Car Side Window Sun Shades

I do a fair bit of traveling with a band on the weekends. Some of the drives are up to 5 hours away, and we get a generous amount for finding hotel rooms, Airbnb's, whatever. I've done the Airbnb's, which can be fine, but there's still a really weird being-in-someone-else's house feeling that lingers. I'm outgoing, but sometimes I want absolute peace. No matter how comfortable they make it, there is still a sense of trespassing or something. Plus, I can get in quite late even without the drive to find something reasonable. Hotels, I'm not a fan of, they are more costly and can be hit or miss with cleanliness. I did a ton of work travel with my old job and practical lived out of suitcases for sometimes 30 days in a row in hotels, I'm over it. Plus, getting into some of these options at the hour that I do can be problematic in different ways (dirty hotel room, missing towels, pictures of accommodations are incorrect, noises, etc.).So, one of bandmates told me about car camping. I love camping in general, so this seemed like an interesting idea and one that I could get into. I decided up upgrade some things (much thicker air/comfort foam air mattress, more pillows [I like a lot of pillows!]) and purchase more things to make my new adventure more comfortable (blackout curtains, windshield cover). I do drive a 2017 Toyota Prius, so I could put on climate control and run heat or AC all night long (which works super, super well!). I did A LOT of research into my new items, I didn't want to keep reinvesting. One and done. I actually though about creating my own blackout covers as there are a few tutorials online, but that meant I'd have to have a few large pieces of something to carry around and mess with. A set of folding pleated curtains just seemed way more manageable. I ordered these, not even sure if the part of my car door needed to attach the curtains were magnetic (it is, 100%).I reserved my first spot at a campground in a tent area (as I MUST take a shower before I sleep). I arrived at night, pitch black, and had zero issues with getting the curtains in place even though I didn't even take them out of the bag until then. The magnets are really strong, not like some weak fridge magnet. They covered a very large portion of the window. I'm a light sleeper, light affects me but these cover enough to do the job. They even snap together. I slept like a baby this first tryout so there was definitely some success. It kept the car nice and cool, and helped maintain a good temperature (parking in the shade helps). I can slowly slide the curtains along the magnetic part of the door, as, like I stated, the magnets are quite strong.I've since in all done 4 post-gig car camping trips. One of them I didn't know that I had to get to park prior to 10 PM and at almost 2:30 in the morning (3-hour drive home) found a truck stop where I could shower and crash. I was warned (and didn't listen) to not park in the darkest spot of the truck stop, and thankfully, these gave me completely privacy of all the super sketchy trash that was happening all around me. The pictures shown are done really quick at my last camping adventure. Total success there. I have complete faith in this product. It does what it boasts, covers a great deal of light for me, and is of a very outstanding build quality. I recommend this for my fellow car campers!! 10/10

They are AWESOME!! If you sit in the car on lunch like I do and have the sun shining in your eyes while you're trying to relax for a little bit before returning to work, then your need these in your life. Super strong magnets, easy to set up, quality made and blocks all that sun out so you can keep your car cool!!! Living in Florida, these are a must have! They would be perfect for road trips or anyone who spends time in their car. They would work great for a privacy curtain for example at a rest stop when your need some downtime on a long drive!! I'm still amazed at how strong the magnets are and how easy it is to set up. When you got to put it up, its easy to fold! 5 stars all day!!!
