Italian Scooter and Urban Riding accessory, gear and apparel specialist Tucano Urbano launched a new touring accessories and G&A brand at EICMA in 2018 - T.ur, "designed for the most demanding riders. Born from the experience that Tucano Urbano has built up over twenty years, T.ur offers a complete range of highly specific products for touring, characterised by high-quality materials, thermal comfort, advanced ergonomics and CE certification".
The J-ONE jacket is the flagship product of the T.ur line-up with a three-layer modular system made up of a detachable, thermal inner jacket, the main outer jacket, plus a 100% waterproof layer. The detachable, thermal inner jacket is made with Thermore classic padding with a fine fibre structure. Made with recycled fibres from PET bottles, the inner thermal padding is non-allergic, non-toxic and stays compact. The outer shell is a breathable windbreaker in four-way stretch fabric in black, which doubles as a standalone casual jacket with a padded polyamide back panel and inner sleeve, plus T.ur branding.
The main jacket provides contemporary protection from abrasion, impact and heat control features and state-of-the-art materials and technology. It features new D3O LP2 PRO armour, "certified to the highest level of impact protection, it gives 40% more protection than the CE Level 2 standard". It has D3O shoulder and elbow armour, with an Aero 3D mesh pocket to add back protection, and pockets for chest protection.
The jacket is made from two highly resistant Cordura fabrics - the body and inner sleeve is in a micro-weave Cordura for lightness and fit, whilst the sleeve outer is in Cordura Oxford 600. It has a polyester mesh lining and a soft neoprene edge on the collar, as well as adjusters on the biceps, forearm, cuffs and waist for optimal fit. It has many ventilation options, with zip openings on the front, sleeves and hem. The back can also be unzipped and folded down to reveal a large ventilation panel.
It has reliable and sturdy YKK zips, fine adjustment on the collar with an anti-flap hook, tape across the shoulders with loops to securely fix an action camera, plus built-in pockets for a hydration pack with a value discharge system. There are a number of internal and external pockets, including a low, watertight front pocket, an easy-access cargo pocket with a magnet and Velcro, plus a large, anti-condensation and waterproof pocket on the back where the rainproof layer can be stored. Light-reflecting panels are incorporated into the jacket design for high visibility from any angle.
Stored in the main jacket’s back pocket is an ultra-compact rainproof outer jacket, made with Tucano Urbano’s patented Hydroscud system, a breathable, waterproof and windproof polyamide fabric with taped seams and a high water column. The jacket is rain tower tested with a storm trip on central zip and collar to ensure 100% waterproofness.
Additional items in the T.ur line-up that feature the three-layer modular system include the matching, connectable P-ONE trousers, and the J-TWO jacket.
