Appreciate your initial thoughts on the strap. I received mine today and I must say, it’s a bit bulky. It’s a lot firmer (I know, that’s not a word but let’s go with it) compared to my regular strap. Definitely something I have to get use to wearing. I feel that the thought process behind this piece of gear is genius which was why I purchased it for my duty application. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts in a couple of months once you run yours

Anyone would think it's over kill until your shoot and wish you had it to apply needed pressure immediately.

I get it, I suppose. Makes zero sense for me as a Civ but for folks going into real situations where there's a decent chance they could get shot? Eh why not. My only concern would be, how badly would it get in the way of having to do a junctional patch job? Or something in the upper thigh? I imagine it's not gonna be as easy as cutting it off(if need be) with a pair of sheers if it's in the way?

Seems like over kill to me, but interested in seeing your take after real world application for bit

This device is not TCCC approved, and I have not seen good evidence of its efficacy. The whole “worn TQ” thing isn’t new and there was a fad in 2012-2014 where a company was making a swat uniform that had TQs built into all extremities. I don’t think that company exists anymore.

Great idea. But here’s my issue. I’ve applied tourniquets at least 3 times real world. 2 were shootings. There is no way this generates the leverage to stop bleeding. People have no idea how much it takes. Especially with legs, in my experience 1 tourniquet is rarely enough. Herein lies the issue… bleeding out takes seconds. Especially on a leg. By using this it’s entirely possible that it could cause more death unintentionally. We need third party testing. The company acknowledges that it doesn’t replace a real cat. Great concept though.

You need some lighting to illuminate your front.
