How and Why 1BandID is Changing Triathlete, Running, Cycling and Medical ID

The 1BandID Story

Why Wear 1BandID

• With 1BandID you can confidently train because you can rest assured that if something happens it will be there to provide first responders with important information and enable them to contact someone close to you even if you can’t. And, just as important, your team can support you and your training efforts because they can feel safe, secure and comfortable that they will be contacted immediately if anything happens.

• 1BandID goes on and stays on your watch, GPS or heart rate monitor so you can keep the motivation high instead of having to look for one more thing to put on before heading out the door, into the water, or wherever your training path takes you. Why wear anything else…on your wrist.

• 1BandID gives first responders critical information if you’re unconscious or unable to speak and cannot communicate. Unlike a locked phone, a tucked away drivers license or code that requires logging into a database somewhere, 1BandID’s crystal clear laser-engraved information is right there and easy to read.

• Slide up and down your arm when you’re running, biking or swimming.
• Let motivation slip away while you’re looking for one more thing to put on before heading out the door. 1BandID is stylish and it’s small, light and comfortable enough to leave on your watch, GPS or HR monitor band all the time.
• Be one more thing to have to take off at the airport security checkpoint (how’s that for convenience)
