I admit to being a gear junkie, but a dozen Fox 40s? Why? Do you bite through them? Tap dance on them? Frequently run over your gear bag in the driveway? I've never had one crack, split or break. They even go through the washer and dryer no worse for the wear. I will say that mine got rather full of gunk one game this summer (accumulated "mouth stuff" from a couple of years worth of use), but 2 minutes with a toothpick cleared that problem up. But I can see how a second whistle would be good there.
I use the cushioned mouth guard version. They don't last as long because the cushion part gets all chewed up. I think I am going to go back to the regular ones this season. I had my first defective one this past week at a camp. It was a brand new Fox 40, and it sounded terrible. It was so bad, even the observer noticed. I had to switch it out at halftime. That is the only bad Fox 40 I have ever had.
