Doug, you can see out of them ok. Not fantastic, but ok.
Definitely better than you can see through Reflectix
I can read most license plates as they drive by (didn't know what else to use for a comparison, LOL) It's tough to get a picture of, but here is a window that still has foil in the top and solar screens in the bottom. You can see the wavy pattern, that seems to be the thing that blurs things. Other than that, it just seems like it's overcast outside.
With Reflectix we were putting it up and closing our shades before noon and not taking it down until nearly dusk. Now we close the blinds about 3 for an hour or two.
