Curiously, I decided to get one -- but, it's news to me if it is a fashion trend.

I bought the Saddleback but did not care for the double wrap look. I then got this one from Orvis and really like it.

The bracelet protects my wrist, if needed I can un-do it to use 16ft of high strength cord and many other uses I rather not say. BTW most of these SWCC guys wear these types of bracelets 24/7, wonder if you consider them feminine?
Then again, I agree with you 100% when I see a guy wearing the latest Lady Gaga fashion. Not all bracelets are the same

I have a paracord as well. I keep it in the truck. If I go off into the woods I wear it, but not to work or to the mall.

To each his own but I must admit I kinda snicker to myself when I see it. I have worn at times braded para cord or a balance bracelet, but I start looking for the pony tail and earrings with anything else. Sorry. I guess it comes from the younger girls around the company saying ewwwww he is creepers. Or some other air headed stuff I don't necessarily agree with, but seems the younger girls think it's "off".

You laugh at people on the golf course or racquetball court? Um, ok I guess that's better than than trying to do business with jingely wrist trinkets and a fake tan.

LOL! No ponytail, earrings (or tatoos or piercings) for me. I just like the look of mine. So, it's a good thing for me that the young girls around here will be off limits for me.

Man that Teno.com stuff is way outside of my price range...$150+ and up, for a rubber bracelet with SS fastener

I'll stick with my paracord and bracelets my 3 yr old daughter makes me wear. I wear them proudly with all the pink and purple beads....
