Outdated
It does the job, but for the price, I could get a pack with 2 chest seals from another manufacturer.

In my opinion the Asherman Chest Seal is the best of what is currently available. Easy of use with built in flutter valve. No need to "burp" the seal like most other seals on the market.

Good design
This is the one venting type I carry. The large hole can easily drain without getting blocked. One downside is it is a litter harder to pack tightly. It does stick well (almost too well for practice!)
