I questioned those myself, and really didn't want to trust my eyesight nor a once in a lifetime show to something so questionable. I ended up buying #14 welding lenses from Acklands Granger. I picked up some #10 and #12, but doing a quick test by looking at the sun through them, #14 doesn't give me the instinct to look away. In fact I was able to make out a couple of sunspots using the #14s.

I think I paid about $2 each for the lenses.
