Clothing article comprising a tourniquet

Abstract

A clothing article including a tourniquet disclosed. In one implementation, the clothing article is worn high at the waist or on the leg. The clothing article includes a belt. The belt presents a holster having a tourniquet. The tourniquet provides a tourniquet strap, a windlass rod and a V-ring. The tourniquet strap mounts to the holster and the windlass rod mounts to the tourniquet strap. When a user gets injured on the leg, the user tightens the tourniquet strap by twisting the windlass rod to further tighten the tourniquet strap such that bleeding stops from the injured area. Further, the V-ring locks the position of the windlass rod once it is determined that adequate pressure is achieved on the leg. In another implementation, the clothing article comes in a vest configuration and the tourniquet mounts at sleeves of the clothing article. The tourniquet helps to stop blood flow to the injured area on the arm.
