I was recently issued a Blackhawk uniform with built in tourniquets and have worn it in the field on a number of occasions. The tourniquets do work, although they seem a bit flimsy, kindof like the CAT tourniquets vs the SOF tourniquets. They also take up a fair amount of pocket real estate which can be annoying. The one big drawback from my perspective is that the tourniquets aren't placed far enough up (proximally) the arm/leg and the tourniquets will slide down more easily than a stand alone tourniquet. On the upside, I found the uniform to be cooler and easier to maneuver in than the similar ACU standard issue uniform. End result: I cut the tourniquets out and it's in my rotation of field uniforms. Hope this helps somebody.
