I'm looking at the Icon Patrol jacket. Anybody have one? I'm looking for a little first hand Information.

I have two!!! One red and one Hi-Viz yellow, I have no complaints with them.
I usually wear the red one daily and have owned it for about 7-8 months, still looks new and all the zippers/vents function as new- no visible wear on it. I live in Southern California and rain is few and far between but I have been out in a pretty good rain storm, also had on my Patrol pants and will say I was 100% dry after a 75 mile freeway ride home.

I really like the pockets and I'm a fan of inside chest pockets which it has, they even thought ahead and the winter liner has a slot in it to access the inside pockets and ID holder!! I put a photo copy of my ID in there just in case of a 911 situation, if anyone removes the jacket from me the ID is right there/cant be missed.
The front magnetic flap is super easy and quick, the only thing I did not like was the back water wanna be Camel Back holder thing- it just unclips and removes so it was a none issue.

I'm very pleased with the jacket and would not think twice about recommending it to anyone. I have way to many jackets but this has been my everyday "go-too" jacket for the last 6 months now, keeps me WARM and dry.

I've had one in the Hi-Viz since June 211. It's my everyday jacket. It's a great level of protection, can vent pretty well, and is well thought out. Some sun-fading for sure after two seasons, but that's unavoidable. Middle of the road, price-wise. Really no complaints at all.

I like mine alot. Good protection, lots of pockets, nice and warm with the liner. Haven't had the chance to check out the waterproof-ness, yet.

Slightly sloppy in construction. The zippers for the liners don't really actually park in the "zipper garages" at the tops of the zippers - everything's just a little out of alignment. There were a few other little similar things I can't quite remember, too, but overall I certianly liked it and wouldn't recommend against buying it unless you're a real perfectionist.

The cuffs are hard to get gloves inside of, and forget putting your gloves outside of them - they're huge.

In fact, in general the jacket is HUGE. I wear a 52 or so in a Dainese jacket (that's a US 40 or 42), and a medium in most euro fit stuff, and I swim in the small Icon Patrol (which is the smallest size they make). It's really almost too big for me. I'm 5'10" an 170 lbs.

I feel warm and safe when I ride in it.
