wrist band

Sweat-absorbing arm loop

A wrist band is a strip of material worn around the wrist.

It may be decorative, like a bracelet, or functional—absorbing sweat during exercise, granting admission to events, or identifying hospital patients.

The term covers everything from terrycloth sweatbands to rubber charity bracelets to the fabric strips handed out at concerts: The bouncer checked my wrist band before letting me into the VIP area.
