Really though, Kinder Fluff is the way to go. Intended to shield kids in the back seat of a car (hence the "kinder") but popular enough in airplanes that most of the ads I've seen have photos of it being used in airplanes. Just make sure to order the darker of the two varieties made by Kinder Fluff. A set of four typically sells for about $15 on Amazon. I carry two and those two will last me about two years before they wear out. The other two in the set of four? I lose those over the course of that 2 years so I end up ordering another set of four when I need to replace my two. Oh well, cheap enough to justify two every two years.

I picked these up off Amazon about 2 years ago, they work really well. Two mostly opaque shades that fit the R2 and R3 windows very well, plus two translucent polarized rectangular ones that you can adhere to any window. Price was a little high at $65 for what you get, but they have worked great and held up well so far.
