Do you cycle far from the beaten track? Run alone through the forest? Paddle out onto open water? A personal sports tag could be the difference between strangers knowing who you are – and who to call.
What is a Sports Tag?
A sports tag is a personalised ID tag – embossed with your details – that you wear or attach to your gear when you're active. Think of it as a modern take on the military dogtag, built for the active lifestyle.
At Armytags.eu we emboss your name, emergency contact, blood type or whatever you choose directly into durable metal. It's tough, weatherproof and always ready – just like you.
Who needs a Sports Tag?
A sports tag isn't just for soldiers. It's for everyone who takes their sport seriously and wants to be prepared if the unexpected happens.
Cyclists – Mount it on your saddle bag, handlebars or helmet. If you crash far out on the road and lose consciousness, emergency services will immediately know who you are and who to contact.
Runners and triathletes – Wear it around your neck or attach it to your running shoe. Your most important details are always there – without affecting your comfort.
Kayakers and water sports enthusiasts – Water and electronics don't mix. Your dogtag does. A stainless steel tag survives everything the sea can throw at it.
Hikers and mountain bikers – The further you venture from civilisation, the more important it is that someone knows who you are if you don't make it home.
Horse riders – Keep it in your saddle bag, attach it to your gear or wear it yourself. Horses can be unpredictable – be prepared.
What should go on your sports tag?
You decide – but here's what most people choose:
- Full name
- Emergency contact number (e.g. "Call Emma: +44 7X XXX XXXX")
- Blood type
- Any allergies or medication (e.g. "Penicillin allergy" or "Diabetic")
- A simple "Please help me" in the local language if you travel a lot
You get up to 5 lines of text – embossed exactly as you want it.
Robust. Military quality. Built to last.
Our sports tags are not cheap plastic clips from a sports shop. They're the same robust dogtags used by the Danish and US military – embossed with raised lettering in stainless steel or aluminium. Waterproof, hard-wearing and built to last for years, whatever the weather.
Give it as a gift to the active person in your life
Do you know someone who can never sit still? A runner, a cyclist, a sea kayaking enthusiast? A sports tag is a thoughtful and practical gift that could genuinely make a difference. And with personalised text, it becomes uniquely theirs.
