ABSTRACT:
An article of clothing, body armor or garment having at least one limb-receiving sleeve includes a housing secured in encircling relation to the sleeve. A self-sustaining tourniquet is disposed within the housing. An opening is formed in the housing and a cover is provided to close the opening. The tourniquet is positioned fully within the housing when the cover is closed. The tourniquet is oriented in the housing so that a free end of the tourniquet is in registration with the opening. A handle is secured to the free end and is adapted to be grasped by a user when the cover is open. The diameter of the tourniquet is reduced when the handle is pulled upon. A ratchet and pawl structure prevents the tourniquet from loosening after the handle has been pulled.
