Sudden cold snap? With the WarmPower range by TUCANO URBANO, warmth is always within reach. Even if, this year, the last days of January are not expected to be the coldest of the season, it’s still wise to stay alert, as February could bring some icy surprises. Helping riders stay prepared are the best sellers from the heated range by the winter specialist brand.
THERMAL COMFORT.
It is well known that cold is the number one enemy for those who use scooters or motorcycles even in low temperatures, but over the years TUCANO URBANO has focused on warming products and expanded the range to cover all the parts most exposed to cold air: hands, neck, chest, back, and legs.
“We strongly believe in WarmPower products,” explains Mirko Tambascia, project manager of the Mandelli group, owner of the brand – because, compared to "normal" winter garments that only retain body heat, warming products have an active rather than passive function: they provide heat to the body, which, when still, suffers from the biting air during the ride, and above all, they offer thermal comfort that helps to feel neither hot nor cold. This is essential to ensure that sense of well-being necessary to ride safely.”
It is important to understand that the temperature of warming products should never be excessive.“It would be counterproductive to overheat one area, for example, the hands, as this would create thermal discomfort compared to the rest of the body.”
THE COMPLETE RANGE.
Here are the clever solutions, powered by PowerBank, that TUCANO URBANO offers to protect against the cold. Starting from the upper body, you can warm up with the under-jacket vest TOPWARM (€104.99), also available in the LADY version, with the bib BIBWARM (€59.99) or with the neck warmer NECKWARM (€51.99). Moving down, the lumbar and sacral areas are covered by the belt CINTUKAWARM (€64.99) and the seat cover COOLWARM (€69.99), while the trousers PANTAWARM (€109.99) provide warmth to the thighs and knees.
To ensure thermal comfort for the hands—the area most exposed to cold air and therefore most at risk of losing the sensitivity needed for safe riding—TUCANO URBANO offers three models of heated gloves powered by a rechargeable 7.4V / 2200 mAh lithium battery (included), with a battery life of around 4 hours at 65.5°C: SUPERWARM HYDROSCUD® (€209.99) for motorcyclists and maxi-scooter riders, STARWARM HYDROSCUD® (€179.99) for urban and extra-urban scooter riders, and SOWARM (€159.99) for short rides on small-displacement bikes.
