Side note on the SOF, I had the "flap" folded under the main section of the twist bar so the screw lock device could be seen easier. Normally the scuba webbing also be under that screw lock device. Hope that makes sense.
The CAT definitely folds up flatter and is lighter.
Bad thing about the CAT is it is all black. This can be bad in a low light situation, such as ... on the floor of a Surburban with your sunglasses on, bouncing down a road.
Rob, you should have some made in Yellow to match your visor!
I have SOF, CAT and LBT Ratchet Tourniquet.
but I prefer the CAT because it's quite KISS....
FWIW, it does come in orange
I carry two SOF tourniquets in every bag and vest I have, plus two LBT ratchet tourniquets in my med bag for serious lower extremity trauma such as amputations and blast injuries where I am not necessarily as concerned about additional tissue damage as I am about stopping blood flow.
We use the SOF-T.
