Road ID Elite

I'm pretty sure that the clasp on the Elite is stainless steel, just like the ID plate.

Which means it would likely be a problem for me.. however there are different grades of stainless, so this is certainly worthy of a phone call. I also want to find out what a "rubberized compound" is.

I am finding TE very useful tonight to avoid working

Please post whatever info you can find out! I'm curious about what that "rubberized compound" is.

I have this Road ID. The feel of the rubber bracelet is similar to one of those rubbery Livestrong bracelets. I love it.

I have issues with anything on my wrists...I can't wear watches, bracelets. Even though you said you prefer the wrist band, you really may want to rethink and try the ankle version. I've always found it to be 'forgettably' comfortable, but I do wear it over my ankle-high socks. Keep us posted on what you learn.

I've been told by EMT folks that they automatically look at wrists rather than ankles for such things...so I want to go the wrist route if at all possible. I have enough odd health issues that I don't want them to miss it.

added: It also might help if I keep it as loose as possible

How about a MedicAlert tag if you have other medical problems? I have a MedicAlert sports band. It's a nylon band with a plastic clip. The tag itself is metal, but the band is between you and the tag.

As an ER doc, I HIGHLY recommend some wearable ID, whether it's a Road ID or MedicAlert tag. The whole reason for wearing something like that is if you're incapacitated and can't give any info. If you have a head injury, the paramedics are going to scoop and go, not spend time looking through your stuff to find ID. The police might, but who knows how long that will take. I would go with a wrist band over the ankle, which might get cut off with your clothing. The necklace would be a close second. The shoe tag has a good chance of getting lost and not seen.
