G26 Donor lenses

[Fresh]

I'm interested in this "secret" lens, I was able to track down a couple of donor lenses but I can't be sure which one would work better for the frae cuts I have in mind. I've found a Radar and an Old M frame lens, do you guys know which one would work better (I'm pretty lost with lens curvatures) for either and XS or an XX? And is there any mounting complications due to the thickness of the shield lenses?
I understand that g26 works for cloudy/rain days and not for full sunny ones so it will be a season lens, but the color is quite ice and having rain season coming in in the next few weeks in Mexico, it would be nice to have something for those days.
Thanks for the insight!

Why is it a secret?

Why is it a secret?

Not secret like hidden, but more like it was quite limited and not as easy to get as ice or fire. Plus it is one of those lenses that has been discontinued so its even harder to find nowadays

Because they made Jade. G26 was for shotgun clays games and Oakley never intended it for general use, they even published to not use it.

I read about the shooting use, but if I remember correctly, people liked to use it for cloudy rainy days. That's basically why I want a set, spring is quite rainy here in Mexico and we get a lot of cloudy days. Anyone has any experience with them? Like actual use for other things than shooting?

They make everything purple. VR28 is where it's at. Or persimmon

The base curves I've seen these in are in the 6.75-7 base toric range (vertically curvature is less than horizontal). They should work ok for xx xmetal. I'm not sure on X Squared unless you find a pitch shape. Path might be too small. On Facebook groups I see a ton of Brazilian dudes wearing g26. Not sure why. I always thought it looked cool, though I haven't worn it.

Those look awesome! So, we've stablished they aren't for a daily use, when would you say is good to use them?
