I have been riding in the
Tucano Urbano Magic Parka
for 2 weeks now or so and I must say that it is the best piece of cycling attire I ever encountered. Its greatest strength is in its versatility. With small adjustments, mostly moving zippers while riding, you can allow for more air flowing through, turn it into a rain cape, put on the incorporated gloves or half-gloves etc. I am still in the process of discovering its hidden secrets. Its reflective elements can be made to show or hide. For winter there is a liner you attach from the inner you attach to the Parka or put on like a jacket. The Parka's disadvantages are price and the fact that they do not ship to US. Ahead of a trip to Europe, I had it shipped to my destination there and had to pay VAT - it was 245 euro altogether including shipping. Given what the Parka provides, my misgivings regarding the price slowly evaporate and my wife is more and more inclined to get one for herself - good sign that there was rationality in the purchase decision. The photos illustrate some of the Parka's features.
