Medical ID Bracelets

[Rackonteur]

I’m thinking of ordering one just for general wear. I figure if a particular brand or style is durable enough to survive Cross Country it will be good enough for everyday wear. I’m shopping online, and seeing silicone straps with buckles, silicone slip-on bands (no buckles), “curb” chain steel bracelets with “lobster claw” clasps, slip-on metal watch-type bands, and webbing bands with buckles.

I won’t wear it every day, but I want it to last through frequent buckling-unbuckling/clasping-unclasping.

If you have any preferred styles, please let me know! All it needs to say is my name and SEE WALLET CARD.

Thanks.

I have a Road ID that attaches to my Fitbit I like if you wear any sort of smartwatch.

I have a medical condition that requires me to wear an ID at all times and I love my RoadID bracelets. They meet the requirements for USEA and are comfortable and low-profile enough that I don’t mind having them on all the time. I prefer the nylon ones over silicone for the feel and because the size can easily be adjusted to be looser or tighter depending on how much I want it to move around. Mine get beat up regularly at the barn and elsewhere and show no signs of wear.

I also have one of their tags for my smart watch but I don’t use that one as often since I always have a bracelet on.

I prefer the styles that I don’t have to clasp, buckle, hook, etc., unless I’m wearing a special occasion “dress” one (in which case I’ll probably need assistance with fastening it). Wearing a stretch bracelet from Laurens Hope right now:

I’ve owned all types, from high-end fine jewelry ones to sport, metal to beaded to silicone; put one on first thing in the morning, and take it off last thing at night. Since I wear one pretty much every waking hour, they do eventually wear out (usually either clasps go, which can be sudden, or the engraving gradually becomes unreadable), and I like to have a spare or two on hand.

The engraving is what costs, IME – getting a tag that is interchangeable with various bracelets can save money in the long run. Of course, I’ve got a lot of words on mine, which drives the price up. Saves time when I’m at a doctor’s office, because I can just hand it over for someone to write the info down.

Good point; thank you for the reminder. I haven’t tried to fasten a bracelet in decades and you reminded me that I hardly ever could do it myself. Even my watch band stretches!
