I have to say that rules are rules...... and have to be abided by AT ALL TIMES.....WITHOUT EXCEPTION........
If rules are 'bent', even if it is ever so slightly, then it will make a mockery of all other rules and regulations ever written.
Agreed, the C4 range is very nice, but I saw this coming the first time I ever saw them. IMO, it's 'designer cheating' whichever way you look at it. Even if the individual wearing them is unaware of the rulings.
I can't actually belive, to this day, that DYE actually thought they were going to get away with this.
ONE layer of padding.......... that's the rules..........
Sorry guys...... just my opinion.......
