Nice Pants

Recently I visited a website that specializes in tactical clothing that a friend told me about, and found something of interest. Blackhawk.com sells trousers with I.T.S. technology, that is an integrated tourniquet system. These pants have built-in tourniquets throughout each leg that can be activated above the hemorrhaging injury when needed. Per the site, the combined weight of the I.T.S. is less than that of a traditional tourniquet. It is simple innovations like these that will save lives, and hopefully this technology will become more prevalent in military use in the near future.
