We all know we have cotton jackets for ambis.
We all know that we have a wonderour material called nylon.
Nylon lets us stretch.
We all know that fencing companies only make nylon jackets for non ambis....( at least to my knowledge)
Why?
Has mankind lost all sense of reason? Why the prejudice?
*wailing and sobbing* I have a dream. I have a dream that someday we will not be judge by the number of adroit hands we have, but the color of skittles we choose to eat first.
I am expecting a package on tuesday which will have my first equipment with a customized ambi nylon jacket. Someone please tell me this jacket is not illegal.

The jacket souldn't be illegal, they allow backzips. You just CAN't change hands in the middle of a bout.

it's not illegal, it's just that no company bothers making a poly back-zip, because other than you, there is no market.

Also a 'Legal' back-zip jacket, not only is it more cumbursome to take off or open up between bouts, it also would be more expensive to make than a right or left handed jacket. Check M25.4 second line.

When you get it, check if it does conform to the rules and let us know.
