    I have no problem with the Road ID wrist band. I forget I'm wearing it, no matter how hot and humid it gets.

    I have the original style with the velcro closure, so I don't know how the silicon ones feel. I have worn Livestrong bracelets on long summer rides with no problem, but they are very loose.

    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    I also have the original road id velcro band. I have really small wrists and don't even notice than its there. Feels not much different to having my watch on the other wrist.

    I wear mine all the time for both biking and running.

    I wear a watch while riding, and the band is the same material as the RoadID band. I don't even notice it.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I have the velcro one, too. I had one of the silicone adjustable ones and hated it...it would get a mix of sweat and sunblock underneath and gave me a horrible itchy red ring of eczema or something underneath.

    I'm sure it's not quite as likely to be found as the wrist one - but I have and like the ankle one. I bought the wrist band for the same ID, and can't wear the wrist one. I cannot possibly forget I'm wearing it, and it bugs me. On my ankle - I forget about it. And it's WAY better than nothing.
