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.

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

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

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

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

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
