Nice. What is the “Proprietary bullet resistant material” mentioned? Kevlar? What is the significance of bullet resistance in a tourniquet? The timer activates automatically; does it reset automatically?

Speaking of TQ’s. At work yesterday I noticed one of the usual wall-mounted FAK’s had a SWAT TQ in its wrapper sitting on top where it would be easily found. I hadn’t seen that before. TQ’s need to be used early and left in place until EMT’s/Paramedics/Medics/Corpsman arrive and do their own assessment.
