Customer Reviews
Good quality at a fair price with peace of mind knowing that Agilite only makes and recommends the highest quality available
Great product. Shipped promptly. Best was that the tq came loaded and ready to deploy. Will order again.
The CAT tourniquet has a wide strap that helps promote proper limb occlusion, is fast to deploy, and can be self-applied with a single hand. While not the smallest form factor, the benefits far outweigh the size cost. Multiple CATs should be part of any combat, medical, bugout, hiking, or camping kits. While a little big for on-person EDC, I added them to my "Day Bag" load. I hope I never have to use them, but it's better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them!
The nest tourniquet out there. Reliable and authentic. If you ever need one, you better be able to depend on it.
luckily I haven't had to use them (I carry one on the IFAK MD2 and the other on the secondary carry above the general purpose bag.) But I'm pretty sure they will be reliable and not break at the worst moment. Battle testing will do that for the design of the product. Unfortunately, Agilite's team sees plenty of that.
