i just got some today and upon opening them theres a little white thing in between the lens, and no way to get it out besides a really small hole.  I'm confused, can anyone who has them help me?

dude, I'm not retarded.  I'm talking about a little white piece of foam only a couple mm big thats just jiggling around inside the lens.

it's supposed to be there, and they're actually putting a decal on the lenses now to point it out... it's a Porex filter in their lens technology - it's there to allow for breathability between the double lenses, when you have the gogs on, you can't see the filter at all.... it's sick... best anti-fog lenses on the market!

just read the last sentence from your last post, the filter shouldn't be jiggling around, it should be fixed between the two lenses... if it's moving freely, then you should get in touch with Smith directly and they'll send you a new lens, no questions asked.

shit, thats not good.  I was able to get it out by splitting the seal a little and put it back.  It should be fine now, the lens is still sealed well too.  Thank you for actually helping unlike the first poster.
