Submerge them, shake off the excess then let them drip-dry standing upright so the water drains out.

You could try placing them by a heating vent or going to town with a hand drier, but they could very well be fucked.  If the seal is broken water will continue to get in there over and over.

I think I'm just gonna let them dry all night. Thanks for the tips though.

if you cant get the water out or it keeps getting back in you can just tear off the thin thermal part of the lense and spray it with antifog.. i did this with a paintball lense or 2 and it worked perfectly fine and saved me buying a new lense

Thats especially odd with Phenoms or many Smith goggles for that matter. Don't they all have those little inserts inbetween the lenses that wick moisture out?

It worked on my old Spys. Seriously - you ask for advice and get a straight answer. Kids these days...

Sorry bro it just doesn't seem like it would work, but I'll try it I guess.

It would work because the surface tension would pull all the water toward the bottom as it drained and when it all drained out there would be no drops or anything.
