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. 👍👍

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.
Welding glass/helmet/goggles works as well.

Soooo much better than the gouging that happened in 2017.

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.

I don't think anyone thinks the rays themselves are more harmful. And it isn't just that you can tolerate looking at it longer it is also the fact your pupils dilate due to visible light being less. So your natural protective mechanism of constricting your pupils is defeated letting in other harmful wavelengths of light.

Don't worry the gouging will happen. It's too early still.

Be very careful. Most welding products do not meet the protection necessary for a solar eclipse. The lowest rating I've seen reference to online is #12, but most indicate #14 or higher is necessary for this purpose. I didn't think these are the typical protection rating you will find at the hardware store.

The gouging will happen this year too, but at the local level and closer to the event day.

A 5 pack was like $5 shipped in 17
We waited til the last minute and paid $1-$2 each. A few months prior, the hype machine was in full force and $5-$10 was normal.
The fact that we just had one several years ago seems like it's keeping some of the excitement in check this time.

I wasn't in totality last time, and that was awesome. So this time i am expecting the most awesome experience. Using my glasses from 2017
