Default Spider Shade worth the purchase?

With summer coming around and a lot of dewy mornings the spider shade says it keeps the dew out and blocks the sun (i know the point of taking the top off is to be in the sun but my Jeep sits outside while I'm at work and something like this shade could save the interior)...just curious if it worth the purchase or a waste of money

The price seems reasonable but then again I have been able to justify all spending when it comes the jeep so not like the cost matters

After the first Jeep sunburn last summer, I was looking at some type of bikini/shade top. I bought the spiderweb and absolutely love it. It still lets in some sun and plenty of breeze. We rarely go out without it in the hot summer. For the price and not having to buy a windshield channel, SO WORTH IT!

i have one and it was the best 60 bucks i spent last summer.

i'm not sure about holdoing back the dew...i found out the hard way it doesn't stop anything in a downpour but i didn't expect it to.

it also helped with wind. i have long hair and i have to fix it and crap for work but i don't like to put the top on and off everyday so i could unhook it from the back roll bars and drop it behind the front seats and roll the back seat up to hold it down and it kind of worked like a wind screen. kept the hair fixed and the top off.

i think i have some pics, i'll look for them and post later.

Anyone know the real difference between the Trailmesh and Ultramesh?

I have one and love it. It gets pretty hot here as well and its amazing the temp difference when using the shade. I usually keep mine on all summer. One of the best things I have for my jeep
