The Blackhawk! "Warrior Wear" Series has recently added the Integrated Tourniquet System (I.T.S) clothing line. Both the pants and the shirt have built in tourniquets that are correctly positioned to minimize blood loss, if need be, in the line of duty. This outfit is ideal because it allows someone (even the wearer) to easily apply a tourniquet when every second counts.
Implications - Multitasking military has been around for decades, but what is new here is the extent to which military clothing can look like normal "everyday" clothes. This reflects a claim for more undercover work and intelligence operations, as terrorist and covert activities become a fear (imagined or not) of everyday life for many consumers.
