Road I'D - Compare & Contrast

[7rider]

I just ordered the wrist bands for DH and myself.
He got black (per his request). I got red.
Yellow seemed like it would get dingy and dirty really fast (judging from how quickly my Kindle's cover got dirtied up which is also yellow - actually closer to "buff".).

FWIW, I have the yellow wrist band. No dirty problems - I just give it a rinse wash now and then and it looks fine.

I know you've already ordered, but I'll add my two cents. I've moved a bunch of times since I got my first RoadID, so I've had opportunity to replace them often enough. I have no special medical conditions so mine has only my name, address and contact numbers.

I originally bought the wrist one because it seemed the smartest, but to be honest, I found it uncomfortable and often didn't wear it. Then I bought the shoe tag and just left it on my road shoes. That was fine except that it was pretty useless once I started running! Again, since mine didn't carry any critical health info, I wasn't worried about being 'separated' from my info in an accident as I assume that my bike would be searched for ID info on me anyway.

Now I have the neoprene ankle band. It's awesome. I wear it whenever I go anywhere (without my purse) alone. Perfect for biking, hiking, running...I never even know it's there. I'm even thinking that I ought to wear it on my ankle when I swim at the pool in case something happens. No one knows me, and with all my stuff in my locker, how would they ID me if I was unconscious?

I also like that it doubles as a timing chip strap for races AND that it's reflective.
