Keep in mind that lighter colorways in this line block less light than a dedicated solid blackout panel.
And sheer overlay adds a decorative daytime look uncommon in narrow blackout panels. Keep in mind that blocks somewhat less light than a solid laminated panel of the same width.
The highlights are sewn-in lining means no separate liner purchase, unusual at this price for a sheer-style panel and softer daytime appearance than a solid matte blackout panel. One caveat, blocks somewhat less light than a solid laminated panel at the same price.

The backing material matters most. A foam-laminated or triple-weave backing, like Eclipse's Thermaback construction, blocks a higher percentage of direct light than a plain woven or sateen fabric, which typically tops out around 90% to 95% blocking even in a dark color. For a room with unobstructed direct sun for several hours a day, that difference between 95% and 99% blocking is very noticeable.
The same backing that blocks light also reflects and insulates against radiant heat, and most blackout curtain brands advertise a specific energy-loss reduction figure, commonly in the 25% range, from reduced heat transfer through the window. A sun-facing bedroom that runs several degrees warmer in the afternoon will typically feel a real difference with a properly fitted blackout curtain closed during peak sun.
