Today’s gear market is full of options for folks looking for subtle, understated garments that offer excellent protection in the event of a mishap. Nowadays, advancements in materials science and manufacturing processes have brought about motorcycle-approved safety gear which, on the outside, is indistinguishable from regular street wear. One of the best-known brands for this style of gear is Italian manufacturer Tucano Urbano.
For the upcoming riding season, Tucano Urbano keeps in mind those who have already started riding despite the cold, wet weather still lingering around. Its newest jacket, called the Bormio, is a mid-season riding jacket that blends the style of urban fashion, and the superior protective features of modern-day motorcycle gear. When looked at on its own, the Bormio jacket is easily mistaken as an off-the-shelf fashion jacket owing to its plain softshell panels. Only the brand logo on the back of the jacket gives it away as a product from a moto gear manufacturer.
