Disclosed embodiments relate to a tourniquet system which includes straps integrated into a pair of pants or shirt where the straps are configured to tighten to apply pressure to the leg or arm, respectively. The tourniquet system also includes fastening mechanisms which hold the straps in a tightened position and a rod to further tighten the strap and apply additional pressure to the leg or arm. The tourniquet system is configured to be used one handed and may be used with either a dominant or non-dominant hand. In some embodiments, the tourniquet system's straps are positioned around the thigh and the calf of each leg or the upper arm and forearm of the shirt to apply appropriate pressure.
