Default Rugged Ridge Eclipse Sun Shade

I am looking for some shade to protect myself from UV. I was going to buy the Spidershade, but saw this one from RR, which is less $. Anyone have any experience with the RR sun shade?
Thanks

Well, it comes with a 5 year warranty just like the JKini Trailmesh one from SWS. If it's cheaper and comes with a storage bag, I say go for it.

What percent of the UV does it block?

Looks like it only covers the front seat, doesn't the SpiderwebShade cover both seats?

SWS makes their shades in various sizes....JKini covers just the front seats, they also make one that covers front and back seats.

Just pulled the trigger on RR product. I ended up putting "Rugged Ridge Eclipse Sun Shade" into the Google search bar and it came up from Q-Tech for $49.99 with free shipping. Not a bad deal, so I took it!
I was thinking of making my own sunshade, but went to the local Home Depot yesterday and they did not have the UV screen that a lot of guys are using to make their own. If I ended up doing it myself, it would have saved me some $20 or so. I figured for $20, I'll just buy it!
I'll let everyone know how if works/fits, etc. when I get it and throw it on.
