Agree. Buy 2 and keep one in reserve, but they almost always dry out between runs. But it's nice to have that second one just in case. I actually bought my first one on sale at OG for $15 (Sparco Nome!), but I've since bought 3 more (lost that one, bought 2 more just like it and one that was different configuration to try). The one with just 2 eye openings seem weird but is very comfortable. Downside is increased fogging of sunglasses until you start moving (once moving it's not a problem).
