Participants’ ET preference and ET tolerance mean values for the devices tested while wearing cold-weather gloves and technical clothing. (ET: Extremity Tourniquet, OMNA: OMNA Marine Tourniquet, Rapid Application Tourniquet Gen − 2, CAT: Combat Application Tourniquet Gen − 7, RMT: Ratcheting Medical Tourniquet, SWAT-T: Stretch-Wrap-And-Tuck Tourniquet). The tolerance of the self-applied CAT and SWAT is higher than the rest (repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc comparison, p < 0.01), and that of the RATS is lower than all the others (p < 0.001). The preference for CAT and OMNA is statistically higher than the rest (p < 0.01)
