Total Solar Eclipse / August 12, 2026 / Spain / Free Entry
Solar eclipse glasses with ISO certification
On August 12, 2026, Spain will experience a solar eclipse under extraordinary conditions — a once-in-a-generation event. To observe it safely and in style, we’ve created certified eclipse glasses that combine protection and design. Because for a day like this, it’s not enough to just look at the Sun: you have to do it with style.
If you want more information about the eclipse, you can find it here.
Why do you need certified glasses to observe an eclipse?
To observe an eclipse, it is very important to use certified solar observation glasses, because the Sun emits extremely intense radiation that can seriously damage your eyes in just a few seconds. Looking at it without proper protection can cause retinal burns, permanent vision loss, or blindness.
Using homemade methods or regular glasses does not protect your eyes and can create a false sense of security. Our glasses effectively block UV and infrared rays, allowing 100% safe observation. The only thing you will see with these glasses is the Sun.
PROTECT YOUR EYES
They're the only ones you have.
Our Certified Glasses
Our glasses are certified and comply with ISO 12312-2:2015, designed to filter visible light as well as ultraviolet and infrared radiation, reducing the risk to your eyes.
They feature a high-strength laminated cardboard frame, making them durable, sweat- and water-resistant, and resistant to fading or cracking when folded. The lenses are made from 0.16 mm black PET, with UV protection and a filter specifically designed for direct solar observation. They come in two sizes, depending on how they fold, to fit both children and adults comfortably.
With our solar glasses, you can safely protect your eyes and observe the Sun directly during the different phases of the eclipse, always in short intervals and never for more than three continuous minutes.
Our designs
All of our glasses meet the same certification, but they are available in four different designs and are always sold in packs of four.
You can also choose the Eclipse Cuartet, which includes one of each design. All glasses come protected in a flat box, designed to prevent bending or scratching and to keep them in perfect condition.
