Mud is very sticky and very scratchy.

If you had the choice of with or without, why you you choose without?
No because if you buy quality goggles, like over $20 spent, they should be coming with fairly scratch resistant lenses.

I've ridden countless times in all my gear, and the only time I ever needed a second pair of goggles was actually when the liner that touches my face wore out. Even when racing, I never gotten scratches that "ruin" goggles. Certainly not enough for me to need another pair anyway.

LOL it sounds like you are a victim of circumstance. If you can't see where you are going, you probably should do yourself the favor of NOT riding there. People have still injured their necks wearing $700 Leatt braces, yet that money spent didn't solve shit.
