The new FI.13 chamois is actually two separate pads with two separate stitchings. While it lacks in none of the elasticity of the original FI.13 chamois, it somehow feels less rubbery than the original. It's softer and it compresses less, which means when it stretches it's not under so much tension. In other words, when it's being stretched, it doesn't try to snap back into place, so it won't abrade your skin as much. The chamois is dimpled, too, to facilitate heat ventilation. You'll also note a new cut at the front of the chamois to further reduce genital pressure.
The leg grippers are asymmetrical, with one leg getting silver and one black; and the packaging will blow you away -- it comes in a thermo-foam box with a small jar of Assos' legendary Chamois Cream as well as a small bottle of Active Wear Cleanser, plus a wash bag.
