Yeh - I remember this thread but didn't find it on a search. Went back & looked at the website again and didn't see anything on reducing caliper temperature. But there is a statement that the covers reduce brake dust which keeps rims cleaner for extended periods.
Now I don't see how adding these covers would reduce the generation of brake dust. But they would act as a shield to keep brake dust from appearing on the rims. And this is what I believe the firm really meant to say.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
