Product Information

ID medical armbands are a mandatory accessory, when eventing to ensure paramedics / doctors attending to any accidents have immediate access to all the necessary medical information. Equetech Medical armbands provide an efficient and effective solution for this purpose. It is vital if you are competing at a national or international level you understand the rules and guidance surrounding anti-doping – both for humans and equines. Alternatively (and at the minimum) a medical armband of good quality can be used. Athletes who chose to wear an armband should use thisform to record their medical information. Your protective head wear is tagged when you arrive at the event and sign in at the secretary’s tent; the current hat tag is GREEN.
