NASA [nasa.gov] links to the American Astronomical Society [aas.org] for a list of North American solar film manufacturers that were approved to ISO 12312-2 and also for approved vendors of those solar filters.

"These include companies and organizations with which members of the AAS Solar Eclipse Task Force have had good experience as well as other companies and organizations that have demonstrated to our satisfaction that the products they're selling meet the safety requirements of the ISO 12312-2 international standard."

[Note: NASA and AAS both do not directly approve or certify any solar filter themselves. And as such there is no official NASA or AAS preferred solar filter. ISO certification from an American company is gonna be as good as you can get here.]

Daystar Filters, the filters sold on this B&H deal, are on the list of North American Manufacturers on the AAS website. And B&H is on the list of Authorized Dealers of Products Made in North America or Germany. 👍👍

Your comment cannot be blank.

Eye doc here, do me a favor and just don't stare at the sun.
During the last eclipse rush, the market was loaded with gray-market/fake-certified glasses. The American Astronomical Society publishes a list of certified vendors and vetted retailers for eclipse glasses.

So the question for you is - is it worth risking your permanent vision quality to save $5 from some random Amazon 3rd-party seller? Personally, I'd stick with B&H.
Correcting, there's a misconception that eclipses are particularly harmful, as if the light is worse than regular sunlight. That's not the case, the issue is that people are more apt to look/stare.

Welding glass/helmet/goggles works as well.

Awesome deal for reputable ISO certified glasses. I actually purchased some from Ebay that claimed to be ISO certified but later received this email from Ebay. I requested a refund from the seller.

I wasn't sure about the name Daystar but I googled it and that's the most legit nerd company website I've seen in a decade. You can tell they're rocking HTML that was first saved in 1999. You can't fake that.

I wasn't going to care about this eclipse, but this post made me look it up and I saw that it's going to be on the birthday of my oldest toddler. Bought a 4 pack and the wife and I can look at the partial eclipse and remember the day.
Thanks!

My local science museum's gift shop sell the glasses at 2.5 per pair, I think it's good to support the community and buy real glasses from them.

This year there are kids who were born, raised, and started college entirely in an 8-planet solar system. Time we let Pluto enjoy it's Kuiper Belt buddies 😜
