Tucano Urbano one-piece over suit review

Reviewed by: Mau Spencer for 700 miles RRP: £77.99

I was a bit apprehensive when the Tuta Nano oversuit first arrived. This Tucano Urbano one-piece oversuit is called the Tuta Nano 730 and TU claims it to be fully waterproof and breathable, courtesy of the polyamide outer shell. I’ve tried various ‘waterproof’ over clothing in the past and have always reserved judgment; I’ve so often been disappointed with these claims and ended up with wet underclothing as a result – but not in this case and my nether regions remained dry, even after using it in heavy rain.

The Tuta Nano has features like taped seams, adjustable ankle straps with a lateral zip fastening and a side zip opening to the calf; it also sports a reflective safety band. TU has also made it ‘super compact’, coming in a small storage sack, which you could almost fit into your pocket. Having experienced this ‘super compact’ packing previously, I’ve often found that once you unpack an item, you’ve literally no chance of being able to repack it – but this wasn’t the case and I was quite proud that I was able to roll it up small enough to repack without too much effort.

Size availability is XS to 3XL – but remember to order your oversuit according to what you’ll be wearing underneath.
