I recently took a 10-day, 4,000-mile motorcycle trip while wearing and riding with the Icon Patrol 3 Boots. These replace the Icon Patrol 2 boots, which I absolutely loved and did a review on back in 2021 on my YouTube Channel. There have been significant changes made to these progressive motorcycle riding shoes/boots. In the below video, I discuss what's been changed and I give a thorough review.

I am always searching for & testing progressive motorcycle riding gear. I'm not very traditional and know there is way better gear to wear when riding a Harley, other than heavy bulky leather coats, chaps, and big clunky biker boots. I like gear that is protective, functional, and often works on and off the bike.
The Icon Patrol 3 Boots met my standards and I really enjoyed wearing them during this particular motorcycle trip and others. When you first look them over you can tell they are built well and of good quality. These shoes/boots offer much riding protection, yet are comfortable and stylish. They come on and off very easily with the BOA lacing system. With the BOA lacing system, classic laces are replaced by stainless steel wires, connected to a turning knob. You can tighten or loosen these shoes to just the right feel.

During my trips, I did ride in the rain and it was very nice not to have to worry or pull over as the Icon Patrol 3 boots are waterproof! I could just ride on in conjunction with my other progressive riding gear.
Versatility:
I also walked around town every evening after riding all day for dinner and entertainment wearing these shoes/boots. They worked great for that too! That's what I'm talking about when I say I like motorcycle shoes/boots that work for many different things. Space is limited when packing for motorcycle trips, so multi-purpose shoes/boots such as the Icon Patrol 3 Boots work great. On a stiffness scale of 1-10, 10 being the stiffest, I'd rate these at a 6 and they break in easily and nicely. They are very comfortable.
Environments:
I rode with and wore the Icon Patrol 3 Boots in temperatures ranging from 33 degrees to 100+ degrees and they handled it well. I rode in sustained 33-degree temperatures for 2 hrs and my toes did not get cold. Of course, in 100-degree temps, your feet can get warm but that is understood and the same thing would happen in any boots. My feet did not get any warmer in the Icon Patrol 3 boots than in any other motorcycle-riding shoe/boot I've tested thus far. They actually breathed rather well in hot weather.
Sizing:
I am a U.S. men's size 9.5. I ordered this size. They fit perfectly and are true to the listed sizes.
Overall, I love the protection, look, the functionality of the Icon Patrol 3 Boots. They are very comfortable and work both on and off the motorcycle. I highly recommend them for local or cross-country motorcycle riding!

Icon Patrol 2 Boots-Motorcycle Riding Shoes

Overall
Summary
Overall, I love the protection, look, the functionality of the Icon Patrol 3 Boots. They are very comfortable and work both on and off the motorcycle. I highly recommend them for local or cross-country motorcycle riding!
My only complaints are that they did not carry over the heel loop for pulling the boots on from the past model. This should be standard on riding shoes like this. Also, the tongue gutters could come up a bit higher to channel rain away from the inside of the shoe.
I appreciate this review, and more so, your progressive approach to motorcycle gear. I’m 72 years old, and keep looking for gear that keeps me in the game, as I increasingly find myself wanting to leave the heavy leather jacket and chaps in the closet. I am not frustrated by my 5’6” frame, or my 28” inseam. My frustration comes from having manufacturers of progressive pant gear turn a blind eye to this category. I guess we just don’t represent a “big” enough market to warrant attention. I would appreciate any information available for textile riding pants and rain pants. I can never find any with inseams less than 32”.
