Botto here's your proof: As you already know Assos Chamois are made by Elastic Interface Technology.. and you are right in saying they are the only company that has a subcontract for their specific chamois (as with Gore)... but other companies use Elastic Interface pads... and that was my point

Assos site:
"Elastic Interface Technology
Developed by ASSOS Engineering & it's technological partner for shorts insert Cytech Srl."
http://www.assos.com/en/technology/e...interface.aspx

Here is Cycling news talking about Elastic interface technology.... more importantly showing the CC Powerline chamois:

And here is Cytech's websited where you can see other Chamois that they make for other companies.

Edit: The chamois in the CC powerline bibs is also used in the Adidas Adistar Elastic Power bib.
