Sizing your Rescue Band


When sizing your Rescue Band the first step you should take after picking out what style Rescue Band you want is to measure your wrist to make sure you get the correct size.  To get the right measurement you should do the following:

Step 1- Wrap a flexible tape measure or a piece of string completely around your wrist, just below the wrist bone (towards elbow), without creating slack and without creating pressure to your wrist (where you would place a wrist watch). If you use string, measure item against a tape measure or ruler for accuracy. \

Step 2- Select your size from our sizing drop down menu (located on the purchase page of our website for your particular style).  Choose the size that is closest to your measurement. 

Our goal is to create a great fit so please be sure to double check your measurement. Your bracelet will be handmade slightly larger than the measurement you submit to Rescue Bands for comfort.  When constructed, the inside circumference of the closed bracelet will match the size you provide.

Curious about how much paracord you’re getting in your bracelet? Below you can see approximately how many feet of cord you get based on the size of your bracelet.
