They're not at all shear. They're quite heavy and I can certainly see where they would be thermal and light protecting. I wasn't expecting the weight of them, but that's due to the thermal protection to keep the cold and the heat out. I think these would work great. Unfortunately I'm going to return them because they have too much gray in them for the colors in my home. Which is unfortunate because I'd really like to keep them!
