Thanks for your review! it will be published soon.
Thank you! your review was submitted
We saw the eclipse with these. They are the ones that you want. We were at a rest area off the interstate (on our way to view the eclipse). Many people were finding that their viewing glasses were counterfeit and defective and were looking for any extras in the crowd. We had an extra pair and gave them to a guy--he was so happy. When he looked at the glasses, he said "Wow. You even have the ones with the necessary safety rating!!" I think we made his day.

What you get: 5 certified solar glassesWhat you don't get: another nearby solar eclispe for 6 years.So glad I bought these. When the great American eclipse came we almost had to miss it. After deciding on not going to Columbia SC because everyone else was there, we drove 5 hours and arrived just as the sun was 50% blocked.They fit large and small heads, just bend the arms in the corresponding location. And they must have worked because my family still has their eyesight.I even used them to take pictures of the sun on my cell phone.Disclosure: I paid full asking price for this item. This disclosure DOES influence my rating from the perspective of value. I always consider product reviews when purchasing items. I may not always leave a review but when I do I do so in an honest and unbiased fashion. Keep reviewing my friends.

These eclipse glasses were great. They allowed my family to share a breathtaking experience together and I was confident that no one was risking eye damage in the process. We enjoyed being almost centered in the path of totality and getting the most time of totality, but these were great for watching the transition. I have them tucked back for the next round (and as keepsakes), but honestly, I'll probably lose them and buy more for 2021.

These were a little big. But they did theJob. We got to enjoy the eclipse. So worth the money!Glad we ordered them early.

Eclipse day was very special for us. It was almost ruined because we'd previously purchased eclipse glasses of unknown quality. After discovering the USA had been flooded with cheap glasses, we scrambled for replacements. These solved the problem and the convenient packaging made them easy to replace throughout the event (it was raining for most of the event, three hours of partial on either side of nearly 3 min of totality).Had I trusted the uncertified glasses we'd originally bought, I might not now be able to see to type this review. I am so glad these were still available just a couple of weeks out.

I checked reviews before purchasing to make sure glasses were safe. These met the standard. I brought them to my work as it came as 5 glasses. Shared them with co-workers. They gave us a great safe view of the Aug 21 eclipse. The attached picture was taken through the glasses. Very satisfied. My only problem is will I remember where I stored them for the next eclipse.

What a great total solar eclipse in Cookeville, Tn on 21 Aug 2017 @ 1:29 pm. These glasses worked great. It came with a 5 pack, but I would like to suggest you include in the package 5 smaller lenses that stick to a phone camera, so we can film and take pictures. That probably costs .25 cents more.

Bought 2-pkgs of 5-pair of glasses each for family eclipse viewing. Once you get past the cardboard frames (kinda flimsy) they were perfect for the 1.5-minute viewing.One negative.....one pair out of 10 was defective in that the protective film did not cover the viewing area, leaving approx 1/8" gap at top of each "lens". A child or careless adult could have had problems.

Our glasses arrived very quickly in a sturdy cardboard tube and are new and undamaged. Furthermore, they appear to be completely legitimate. They have all kinds of safety information on the back, with logos stating ISO 12312-2:2015 and CE certified by British Standards Institute as well as Australian and New Zealand standards. It also states the name and manufacturer on the back, Eclipse Shades made in U.S.A. by Rainbow Symphony, with the address. This manufacturer is on the list of approved vendors for eclipse glasses. When I put them on, everything is completely black. When I went outside, everything was black except the tiny golden sun when I tested them out. I am very happy and relieved that these appear to be trustworthy glasses. Thank you also for the prompt service. Packaging states they were shipped from Minnesota.

they arrived in 4 days after initial order, these are not the fake glasses and I tested them looking at sun and you can actually see the sun and not just a orange glow, they are paper glasses so they do not cover your entire face like some of the more expensive headgear.they work and are worth it

Description says "Made in USA", but mine were shipped from China. It makes me question whether these are legit or safe. I'll be getting a refund.

arrived folded across the left lens so that every pair was ruined. returned. seemed fine otherwise, although these paper models are available locally for free or at most 1/2 of the price charged here

Just read an article warning about non-certified fakes on Amazon and was grateful to find the ones I purchased were by Rainbow Symphony (manufactured in California) with the ISO certification printed on the glasses.

Four of the five pairs of Eclipse Glasses had scratched lenses making them unsafe to use.

Got these for the 21 August 2017 Total Solar Eclipse. They fit over my glasses, which was important. They have two creases on each side to fold the arms for small and wide faces. Tried them on a sunny day and could view the disk of the sun easily without damage to my eyes. They will work very well for the eclipse. NOTE: do not view the sun directly. You need glasses like these!

I looked at the sun through these and was not blinded. Pretty cool what you can see with these--the sun and its light around the edges of things (like my roof) looks really different. Everything is black if you are not looking at the sun. DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITHOUT THESE. Get yourself in position first, then put these on, then look up AND DO NOT MOVE, because you cannot see anything else when these are on and you will fall off a cliff if you move. Look down, remove the glasses, let your eyes adjust, and ONLY THEN consider moving your feet.

I can stare at the sun and not go blind. That's why i bought them and that's what they do. I wear glasses and these fit comfortably over them. I have no complaints. Good product.

These come in a five pack, just the number in out eclipse watching party. They were placed in an oversized package, but they were bent across one of the lenses on the entire pack, they are still functional, just disappointing. Product itself is great

Bought these for viewing the total solar eclipse this summer since we are at "ground zero" here in Casper, WY. That obviously hasn't happened yet. But I have tested them viewing the sun and they work as described.These are basically a disposable product to be used and discarded. But they will work fine for a 1 time event like viewing a solar eclipse.

Arrived after 12 days - extremely protective package - I bought ten of them for myself and my loved ones.Filters thoroughly: only sunlight gets through, which is to be expected of any ISO-certified solar filters.Buyers should beware of purchasing "best buy" eclipse shades which are not ISO certified,and do not filter adequately - if any light gets through (other than the sun itself), DON'T USE THEM.Read the scary reviews from Amazon buyers concerning cheap non-ISO made-in-China shades,which buyers discovered will even let through light from lightbulbs!If I were Amazon, I would not even allow them to be sold through Amazon.These are your eyes, and they are not (currently) medically replaceable.Reading over other reviews, I note a warning that you should not stare at the Sun continuously(even using these shades) for more than 3 minutes at a time. I would heed that warning too.

I bought this early to prepare for the eclipse in August because I live in the center of the shadow's path. They reduce the sun to an orange disk and that is all that you can see so I'm sure they will be great this summer. Glad it was a multi pack so I can share them.

For looking at the sun these eclipse glasses work great. You can see the sun clearly, and can look at the sun quite comfortably. Even the orange tint is a nice touch. The reason I gave it 4 stars, and not 5, is because the cardboard margin around the edge of the filters is rather narrow, especially at the top. So you have to be a bit careful using them - - if you tilt your head up or down even a little, the full force of the sun gets in your eyes. I plan to glue bits of cardboard to the upper edge of my glasses, for an extra margin of safety. But other than that I am very satisfied with this product; I look forward to August 21, 2017.

The one set of lenses were folded in half and potentially compromising their effectiveness. A risk not worth taking and they were returned.

Used these to watch the partial solar eclipse a few months back. They worked brilliantly. When you look through them, everything is completely black except for the sun, which shows up clearly but without burning any holes in your eyes. You can stare at the sun for minutes and still see very little after-image with these things. I felt completely safe.My brother and I could even see the historically large sunspots present on the sun during this eclipse. This was some unusually good luck as sunspots are almost never visible with the naked eyes, but it shows that you can see pretty fine detail through these things.

These glasses are just what they are advertised as: cheap glasses that provide solar protection. Obviously, as can be seen, they are made out of paper and are not very durable. The material blocks the light nicely and large sunspots can easily be seen. Another good thing with this product is it comes with multiple glasses so kids and family members can also look without having to constantly pass a single pair around.Do not use these with binoculars! :O

I bought a pack of these and brought them to my grandkids daycare during the partial eclipse. They were outside with paper and pinholes and I passed them around and boy, were they a hit! Hint: DO NOT try to look through binoculars using these. The "compressed" light will burn a hole through them.

The glasses arrived promptly and were useful for viewing the annular solar eclipse. One thing I didn't notice however was a warning about not looking at the sun with them on for more than 3 minutes. My husband noticed this and told me about it. It would be good to include that information more prominently, so it will be blatantly obvious - IN LARGE LETTERS - on the outside of the glasses themselves. It was printed inside the glasses on the ear piece in very small text.

I ordered a 5-pack for cheap on Amazon for the annular eclipse of May 20, 2012, and they worked great! However, as another reviewer noted, the photo is incorrect. The ones I received had a different design and colors on the frame (yellow is the predominant color) and the lenses are mirrored on both sides--they look like sheets of Mylar. When you put them on, you see a distorted reflection of your own eyes. You can't see anything else until you look at the sun (which appears white to my eyes), and the moon appears completely opaque as an eclipse takes place. The overall viewing quality exceeded my expectations and those of my fellow eclipse viewers. I was even able to use them in tandem with binoculars, which not only gave me a magnified view of the eclipse, but also allowed me to see a sunspot in the northeast quadrant of the sun. It was a little tricky to line up the binoculars while wearing the glasses at the same time, but I managed to do it several times. You can even wear these on top of regular sunglasses for a little extra protection. I'll definitely hang onto these until June 5, when Venus will transit across the sun in my area.If you plan on saving these glasses for the 2017 total eclipse in the U.S., be careful--the cardboard frame is very thin, as is the material that makes up the lens. Mine were shipped in a fairly rigid cardboard sleeve that should do the job nicely.

Between the solar eclipse in May and the Venus transit in June 2012, I figured it was time to find my old eclipse glasses. After years of careless storage and potential scratches, I didn't trust them, so it was time for new ones. I ended up buying two packs of these, and I figure me and nine other people will be that much safer watching solar events. Also, don't forget to check spaceweather.com for large sunspots that can also be viewed with these babies!
