SOFT or CAT? Both of these tourniquets are superb, but there are some subtle differences. The CAT is a bit simpler and a bit easier to use, it is also lighter (weight 65 g). The SOFT is extremely durable an can be easily buckled on or off. It's also a bit heavier (weight 110 g).

The CAT is often preferred for personal use as a part of an IFAK whilst the SOFT is better suited for CLS and medic use. Nevertheless, both work perfectly in any role and the most important factor in choosing a tourniquet is probably personal preference!
