dude_reinoParticipantI have Smith “Prodigy” goggles. One nasty white-out day at Vail, my lenses got all fogged up. At the end of the day, I brought them in the house and dried them out. Now there are water spots on them. When I used a buff cloth to try to remove the spots, I found out that they were neither on the outside or inside of the lens, but actually BETWEEN the outer and inner lens. Upon removing the lens from the goggle, I found out that Smith has a second lens set into a rubber-like material around the perimeter of the main lens. I can’t separate the two lenses.
Any suggestions on how to clean off the water spots?

I love it. The depth detail is just incredible, and the rose color is great in all conditions. Icy spots actually “glow” pink.
