It worked very well after my accident, moreso for my friends who had to contact family to tell them what was going on. It was a godsend. I had the bracelet which I didn't like wearing because it rubbed on my wrist under jacket/gloves and bugged the crap out of me... so I had it in my tank bag which luckily they were able to find. I wear the dog tag kind now as it's easy/comfortable to wear... nestles right in the middle of my bosom and makes me feel safe.
On my wife's, I put a drug allergy and year of birth. I have no allergies but also put my blood type.
I had my blood type on the first one I had but can't remember if I included it on the other two (dog tag style and one on the boot laces). I'm more concerned about the allergy since it's to ibuprofen of all things.
No doubt!
My first was a wristband I wore mostly while mountain biking. It bugged me, especially after getting sweaty and funky. The next was the type that loops around the shoelaces. I have that one attached to a pair of riding boots I wear on day rides with no threat of rain. The dog tag style works well but I did get the rubber guard to wrap the edge. I need to shorten the chain a bit but I keep forgetting.
Just ordered two dog tags. These will pair nicely with the small USB flash drives containing all our medical and contact info we now wear.
