These were perfect and fun!

1 year ago

Used these glasses for the eclipse in Dayton, OH. They are rated correctly and they worked beautifully!! Thank you for making our trip to totality a time we will never forget! We loved the fact sheet on the inside of the folder the glasses came in, and will keep it in our keepsake box.

Unsafe! These let in way too much light, are not AAS approved despite having years of advanced notice to do so.

Faulty product

1 year ago

Buyer beware: when I opened the kit it only had 2 glasses in it, not 4., I was told bu customer support that I have to buy another one at 20% discount if I want it in time for the eclipse. Not what I expected from a co op.

Expected Better from REI

1 year ago

These are not AAS-rated, and the packaging did not have the correct certification printed. I did not "test" them myself; I genuinely hoped that REI would have sold a properly vetted product. I ended up wasting my money and buying a properly certified and AAS listed product elsewhere. I've been an REI shopper for decades; this is the first time I have ever felt as though REI sold me something in bad faith.

Safety issue

The experts tell us to watch out for these products and to not use them. The response to other comments match what we’re are told should be a red flag. Beware. *shakes head at REI*

Unsafe!

1 year ago

These glasses let in way too much light for safe solar viewing. It let in indirect light from outside on an overcast and rainy day. Not getting approval from the AAS is another red flag. The excuse of facing the cutoff date is a lame one as we can predict eclipses hundreds of years in advance. NOCS had time to get AAS accredited but failed to do so. REI is shameful for selling such a product.

Don't buy, save your eyes!

I figured REI had vetted these, I thought wrong! These are not rated by the AAS and let in way too much light. I waited until my rated AAS ones came in to compare and the difference was night and day. 100% would not risk it and will be returning these.

Shocking that REI sold these

1 year ago

A family member brought these viewers to the eclipse, assuring me that they would be safe since they were from REI. So it was a shock to not see these on the official list of safe suppliers from AAS. Further: - The packaging did not have the correct certification printed on it ("ISO 12312" instead of "ISO 12312-2"; the AAS website is very clear that the correct label includes the -2). The manufacturer did manage to correctly print their Instagram handle, though. - When I tested these viewers on the eclipse against two viewers actually rated by the AAS (Medical King and the Space Science Institute glasses provided in the free library program), the rated viewers let WAY less light in. - The excuses made by the manufacturer on another REI product page are worse than flimsy: * "The AAS is a third party site, not a governing body" => the AAS is still the only major US org maintaining a list of compliant products, and is cited by plenty of government agencies (NASA etc). * "[The AAS] states: 'If you don't see a vendor listed on this page, it does not mean their products are unsafe. We are no longer adding vendors to this page.'" => the second part of this quote from AAS is omitted: "Any company worthy of your business should have established itself well before last October's annular solar eclipse across the Americas, let alone well before this coming April's eclipse." It is pretty appalling that REI, a company whose branding and image is based on reliability, would not do a scrap of due diligence on such a safety-critical product, where failure means a risk of permanent eye damage. I will be reevaluating future purchases from REI.

Definitely wasn’t approved by the governing authorities. Major news organizations said to not use them. Expected better from REI on a safety item
