Unfortunately, I never got around to contacting the company. It's been several years now and no longer worth my time As I am exclusively Oakley for eye protection.
Had I contacted them right away, I'm sure they would have made me whole again. They are a top notch company with a good product. I have several buddies in the military that use WileyX and have never had an issue. Like I stated, personally I would never recommend them based on my breakage and the differences in optical clarity. Strength is one thing, but coupling that with superior optics that allow you to wear the protection all day without eye fatigue is another.
As with all things, YMMV. Just trying to give you enough info to make and informed decision.

I got into a head on car crash, both cars going over 60 mph (each). The glasses took the impact of the airbag. When they loaded me into the meat wagon, I asked the EMT to get them from the car for me. They were perfectly fine.
