Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Windlass snaps into the bracket automatically, so that the loop is just an afterthought. Main locking triangle and the rest of the tq are intact.

Rats can't be beat on portability. Even with all of the duly levied criticisms, has been the one realistic edc option. I prefer the softt-w over the cat only because i've found on other products with velcro that velcro can at times be unreliable.



Cons

The quick disconnect buckle/tension buckle is shown in the picture as metal. However the actual buckle on the item i received is plastic.

Quality


The softtw looks good has recently been certified and with the gen 4 upgrades it seemed worthwhile to obtain and analyze


I received this new gen 4 version in orange with the new redesigned more compact windlass and builtin retention clip


With the softt it took a good couple of tries and some manipulation which i doubt will be workable if my arm is in fact so inju...  Read More


While the cat uses a loose loop with a long velcro strip to fasten the tourniquet before tightening with windlass the softt has no velcro

Competitiveness

Gen 4the real thing from what i can tell

    Analysismuch smaller pack than cat


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The windlass is metal as is the bracket that it snaps into while documentation insists that the official cat plastic windlass and bracket are secure

    While the cat uses a loose loop with a long velcro strip to fasten the tourniquet before tightening with windlass the softt has no velcro


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The tightening strap has to be pulled with some pressure through the loop in order to tighten to the amount needed


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    On the one hand velcro can loose fastenability so this sort of selflocking metal fastener is theoretically far more elegant and permanent


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    On the other hand and this is the big negative about this tourniquet i found this very difficult to use onehanded ie on my own arm


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It really needs two hands to operate well
