A band to be worn on the limb of a person or animal is provided. The band includes an outer member having an inner surface on which is provided one of a mating pair of fastening elements. A strap is attached to the outer member adjacent an end thereof, so as to define a space between the strap the inner surface of the outer member. An elongated inner member formed of a flexible elastic material is also provided. Attached to either end of the inner member are pieces of the other of the mating pair of fastening elements. One end of the inner member passes through the space defined between the strap and the inner surface of the outer member, and both ends thereof are detachably connected to the outer member via the mating pair of fastening elements.

A band to be worn on the limb of a person or animal, said band comprising:an outer member formed of a fabric material having a longitudinal axis and having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, said outer member having an inner surface on which is provided the loop portion of a hook-and-loop fastening system and an outer surface on which is applied an appliqué;a strap attached to said outer member adjacent to the first longitudinal end thereof, said strap having a longitudinal axis which is transverse to the longitudinal axis of said outer member, said strap being attached to said outer member at both longitudinal ends of said strap so as to define a space between said strap and the inner surface of said outer member;an elongated inner member having a first end and a second end, said inner member being formed integrally in one piece of a flexible elastic material and having an outer surface, said inner member having attached to the outer surface thereof adjacent to the first end a first piece of the hook portion of a hook-and-loop fastening system, and having attached to the outer surface thereof adjacent to the second end a second piece of the hook portion of a hook-and-loop fastening system;wherein the first end of said inner member passes through the space defined between said strap and the inner surface of said outer member, wherein the first piece of the hook portion of a hook-and-loop fastening system attached to said inner member is detachably fastened to the loop portion of a hook-and-loop fastening system provided on said outer member, and wherein the second piece of the hook portion of a hook-and-loop fastening system attached to said inner member is detachably fastened adjacent to the second longitudinal end of said outer member to the loop portion of a hook-and-loop fastening system provided on said outer member; andwherein said band is adjustable to accommodate limbs of various sizes by adjusting the position along the inner surface of said outer member where the first end of said inner portion is detachably connected. 2. The band of claim 1 wherein the appliqué is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of a reflective material, a glow-in-the-dark material, a non-reflective vinyl with a multi-color decoration, an embroidery, a direct screen print, a heat applied transfer, a fabric material, and combinations of these. 3. The band of claim 1 wherein the appliqué includes a logo printed thereon or formed therein. 4. The band of claim 1 wherein said strap is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of a vinyl material, a cloth material, and combinations of these. 5. The band of claim 1 wherein said strap includes instructions printed thereon or formed therein. 6. The band of claim 1 wherein said inner member is interchangeable with another inner member having a length different than a length of said inner member to provide further adjustability. 7. A band to be worn on the limb of a person or animal, said band comprising:an outer member having a longitudinal axis and having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, said outer member having an inner surface on which is provided one of a mating pair of fastening elements;a strap attached to said outer member adjacent to the first longitudinal end thereof, said strap having a longitudinal axis which is transverse to the longitudinal axis of said outer member, said strap being attached to said outer member at both longitudinal ends of said strap so as to define a space between said strap and the inner surface of said outer member;an elongated inner member having a first end and a second end, said inner member being formed integrally in one piece of a flexible elastic material and having an outer surface, said inner member having attached to the outer surface thereof adjacent to the first end a first piece of the other of the mating pair of fastening elements, and having attached to the outer surface thereof adjacent to the second end a second piece of the other of the mating pair of fastening elements;wherein the first end of said inner member passes through the space defined between said strap and the inner surface of said outer member, wherein the first piece of the other of the mating pair of fastening elements attached to said inner member is detachably fastened to the one of a mating pair of fastening elements provided on said outer member, and wherein the second piece of the other of the mating pair of fastening elements attached to said inner member is detachably fastened adjacent to the second longitudinal end of said outer member to the one of a mating pair of fastening elements provided on said outer member; andwherein said band is adjustable to accommodate limbs of various sizes by adjusting the position along the inner surface of said outer member where the first end of said inner portion is detachably connected. 8. The band of claim 7 wherein said outer member comprises a fabric material. 9. The band of claim 7 wherein said outer member has an outer surface, and further comprising an appliqué applied to the outer surface of said outer member. 10. The band of claim 9 wherein the appliqué is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of a reflective material, a glow-in-the-dark material, a non-reflective vinyl with a multi-color decoration, an embroidery, a direct screen print, a heat applied transfer, a fabric material, and combinations of these. 11. The band of claim 9 wherein the appliqué includes a logo printed thereon or formed therein. 12. The band of claim 7 wherein the mating pair of fastening elements comprises a hook-and-loop fastening system. 13. The band of claim 12 wherein the one of a mating pair of fastening elements provided on said outer member comprises the loop portion of the hook-and-loop fastening system, and wherein the other of the mating pair of fastening elements attached to said inner member comprises the hook portion of the hook-and-loop fastening system. 14. The band of claim 7 wherein said strap is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of a vinyl material, a cloth material, and combinations of these. 15. The band of claim 7 wherein said strap includes instructions printed thereon or formed therein. 16.
