One of the best new products out there. If you usually carry a CAT or Soft-T tourniquet, then you want to add this to your go bag or med kit. Easy to use one handed, and quite frankly I would rather use this on myself than one of the other two. I just wish they had a better carrying pouch that would fit on a duty or battle belt. Something with a blade-tech attachment would be great, but until they make one, I just carry it in my EDC bag. It is obviously more expensive than some of the other tourniquets out there, but well worth it. Just note that once this thing is clicked down, it will not release easily. You have to really pull up on the release mechanism before this thing will loosen, so if you practice with this you will have some numbness for a while until you learn how to release it quicker. But once you learn how to quickly get it on and off, then this will soon replace all the other tourniquets you carry.
After reviewing and trying several tactical and personal tourniquets I have to admit I really like and recommend this particular tourniquet. This tourniquet allows for quick application, simple to use with only two (2) steps, tighten the tourniquet and rachet till bleeding is controled.
The one disadvantage is the size of this device. Due to the tightening mechanism it can not fold or store as tight of some of the other ones on the market, but if size and weight are not an issue this one is definitely worth the investment.
Havent had to use it for real thankfully, recomended on my TCCC course especially for big folks that might need to stop a femoral bleed. Very well made.
My favorite. It can be easily applied by the user. And when you’re your own first responder it matters.
Superior product. Became my primary go to emergency tourniquet.

Big and bulky compared to others. A little more complicated application process but very effective.
Super easy to use. The ratchet system makes getting the necessary pressure simple. The strap is nice and wide almost like a seatbelt to help avoid cutting into skin.
