GREAT IDEA
Pros: velcro attached
Since there are so many small/micro caches out there, this is a great idea.

TRACKABLE PATCH
Pros: removable from velcro Cons: thread holding the bar doesn't look very sturdy
I bought this patch with someone in mind to give to as a gift. She's had a negative experience with a magnetic travel bug for her vehicle which "disappeared". Hopefully this one will stick around. Bought one for myself since I thought it was such a good idea.

GREAT FOR MY GIRL SCOUT TROOP!
Pros: nice construction
Patch is well made with nice embroidery. Easy to read tracking number. I did add some extra reinforcement to the stitching on the tracking number. It was sturdy but I thought maybe over time it would wear down.

EASY WAY TO BE TRACKABLE
Pros: easy to recognize, velcro back Cons: hard to read tracking number
I wanted to get this as I would like people to mark down that they have seen me caching. The 4-colour design makes it very recognizable to other geocachers, but the laser etched (I'm guessing) tracking number is hard to read. I have tried a few tricks to make it more visible, but no luck yet. The Velcro hook backing is great for moving it between different items, like one of my many packs.

VERY NEAT, LOW QUALITY
Pros: very spiffy and adaptable Cons: low stitching quality, very dark color
How very cool, a patch for your jacket, motorcycle vest, backpack or whatever. The patch is two parts: the patch with Velcro on its back, and a Velcro backing, so the backing can be attached and the patch itself detached.
A few issues I had:
The sewing which holds the metal tag in place was already loose, not very high quality.
The patch itself is a dark grey, without apparent choice of color for matching other backgrounds.
I just wanted the patch without Velcro, and it took some small work to get it detached.

VERY NICE PATCH
Pros: velcro backing, nice metal plate
Was surprised to see it had velcro backing. Will get more velcro and be able to move this patch from winter jacket to summer vest. Wish I had not misplaced it, never actually got to activate it or get it sewn onto my jacket.

NEAT PATCH
Pros: cute, easy to sew, trackable with icon Cons: tracking number hard to read
If you enjoy trackables than this is the perfect way to become a Travel Bug yourself. I won one at an event and have sewn it onto my hat and now can enter myself into events and my favourite caches to see the miles add up.
I liked that it comes in two parts that velcro together. The back part was very easy to get a needle threw by hand (I tacked it onto my hat in the four corners so I could remove it), so you needn't worry if you don't have a sewing machine.
The only downside is that the tracking numbers are hard to read so you either have to remove it from your person or other cachers have to get very close to you in order to write down the code.
Many cachers do like it and are excited to track me now. I think these are a very cute and novel trackable.
