Heh, don't know that I'd trust a Harmful Freight device with my eyesight, but there are many other suppliers that will carry name-brand eye protection. The goggle type devices are often called "cutting glasses" or "cutting goggles" because they're only used when cutting or welding with an oxy-fuel torch -- electric arc welding requires full face protection from the UV given off by the arc as it'll sunburn any exposed skin. Many big box hardware stores carry either Lincoln, Hobart, or Miller branded safety gear, which is fine, safe stuff. We went in for new glasses last week, and the optometrist had cardboard and film filter glasses for free in their lobby.

This is a better option and it doesn't cost much, only $6 its not the gimmicky stuff that you see sold in stores, and its the same material specified for welding masks to filter the solar light. It's the same specification used by astronomers for their telescope equipment but these are welding goggles, so it's light weight and costs less, These are found at Harbor Freight and other places with tools pass it on https://www.harborfreight.com/welding/welding-helmets/2- piece-welding-goggles-set-35712.html <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww. harborfreight.com%2Fwelding%2Fwelding-helmets%2F2-piece- welding-goggles-set-35712.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg= AFQjCNFPbNNUpb5KMLVsW65ZYez-XMLOuQ>
FYI, The ANSI Z87.1.1989 spec [American] and the ISO 12312-2 spec [International] are basically the same eye-wear safety spec They both specify the same requirements for the solar filters
