Exclamation IceInSpace Eclipse Shades .. available very soon!

With the Venus Transit and Total Solar Eclipse coming up, you're going to need eye protection.

IceInSpace has you covered!

The IceInSpace Eclipse Glasses have arrived and will be available for sale in the next week or so.

$4 each or 4 for $14. Buy for the whole family! Help me sell out!

Stay tuned!

PS: they are 100% legit - sourced from Rainbow Symphony so they are all "CE" certified which meets the transmission requirements of scale 12-16 of EN 169/1992. (Australian standard AS 1338.2 and 1338.3).

I'm putting together an IceInSpace Shop site where you'll be able to buy the eclipse glasses as well as the new outdoor quality IceInSpace stickers (and ultimately all the other IIS merchandise or calendars etc. too).

It'll hopefully be online in the next few days or a week - so hold tight!

Will these solar glasses give a white or orange tint to the Sun?

I don't see why not. You'll probably just have to hold them a bit tighter to your face so you don't get any light leaking in around.

Would they fit under glasses?

Even if you had them on top, as long as you look through the centre of your lenses they should be OK. The Sun only is only about 30 arc min across.
