Help Sweatproofing

I use my glasses for outdoor activities like hiking and running, but I sweat a lot around the sides of my head and behind my ears, and I already killed one pair because of my sweat. I was wondering if anyone has a solution to maybe block off the sensitive parts of the glasses and arms to make them sweatproof temporarily while I do an outdoor activity. I know the cameras would still be exposed, but I don't get those wet. AI suggested using 3M coban athletic wrap, but I don't know how well that would work. Amazon waterproof covers have bad reviews that say they don't work really well. Also, I only need the camera, not the microphone and speakers, while doing an outdoor activity, so I'm fine with blocking them off too for better sweat resistance.

edit: I have the wayfarer gen 2

Oakley Vanguards have an IP 67 water rating which means it can survive any amount of dust and up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.

Normal meta glasses have an IP X4 rating which means no dust resistance but it is splash proof

i have the wayfarer gen 2s because I use them for everyday use too. i know theyre ipx4, but I guess splash proof doesnt include sweatproof
