A watch band type closure is fully adjustable to fit any size wrist. The band is custom-sized to the individual user's wrist size.

In October, 2008 I left our shop for a four mile run. During the run I suffered a stroke. The brain damage left me disoriented. I could barely find my own house four blocks from the store. Had the stroke been worse I could not have remembered my own name.

Local triathlete Mike Orris, family man, athlete, sales rep and all around nice guy, rode his bike to meet his family at a Saturday picnic. He never made it. Orris was hit by a car and suffered a traumatic head injury. Orris was identified and this contributed to his caregivers’ ability to contact his family quickly. Orris is recovering from his injuries now.

The Wrist ID Elite includes instructions for precisely sizing the band. Be sure to follow the instructions for a precise fit.

As a culture athletes believe they are invulnerable. It’s part of our ethos that we think we are the ones who will survive- impervious to injury or accident. Accidents only happen to other people…

The truth is different. Riding, running and swimming in the real world carries risk: As the culture of citizen-athletes grows so do the number of tragic stories.
One way to manage risk is with information. Road ID’s new Wrist ID Elite is an effective tool from the good folk at Road ID to transmit vital information to emergency caregivers. It’s information that can mean the difference between life and death. When an athlete is unable to speak for themselves, Road ID can speak for them.

Once the band is cut to the perfect length for your wrist the clasp is then locked shut using the serrated teeth. It's a secure and custom fittable system that is easy to use.

The new Wrist Elite is a multisport evolution of the original Wrist ID design. You can wear the new Wrist Elite anywhere since it has a sleek simple look compared to original Road ID’s with their nylon band and it is non-absorbent. The Wrist Elite uses a custom-sized polymer band and watch style clasp. The user cuts the polymer band to length with scissors sizing it precisely for their wrist. “It can fit almost anyone perfectly” said inside sales reps at Road ID. When the polymer band is fitted correctly the Wrist Elite stays put without moving on your wrist.

The new polymer band dries instantly and doesn’t absorb water or perspiration. It goes from the pool to the board room without having to dry and never absorbs odors or sunscreen. Nine colors are available so it’s easy to color key the Wrist Elite for any environment.

Because of the adjustable fit the Wrist ID Elite is very comfortable and unobtrusive to wear. It is excellent for swimming since the rubber bracelet dries instantly.

The information etched on the Wrist Elite ID placard is all upper case. The font is easy to read for emergency personnel and good Samaritans. Up to 7 lines of text can be inscribed on the placard. Each line can contain up to 24 characters including spaces. Typical emergency information includes contact numbers and names for next-of-kin and is entirely user determined on the Road ID website- you simply type in your text as you want it to appear. The site even shows you how it will look on your bracelet. I designed my own bracelet with blood type, previous medical conditions, health insurance policy number and my wife’s cell phone number and name.
