Paracord Planet 1.8mm Fluorescent Reflective Guyline Tent Rope Cord Camping Paracord

Needed lightweight cord to hang up a bear bag when camping. This was a good length and weight. Wasn't entirely sure about its strength, but had no major issues hanging a 10-15 pound bag. Only downside is the cord is stretchy (probably has a nylon or similar core). This did make it more of a pain to get enough tension to pull it up, but we were able to hoist it up eventually. Though one night we ended up having to essentially toss the food bag as high as we could while pulling the cord at the same time to get the bag high enough.

Great value for the price. I bought for use as tent / tarp guylines. It's very thin and somewhat stretchy cord, so it's less ideal for a ridge line, though it could be used for that.Dyneema / Spectra cord would be better for ridgelines, and also more ideal for guylines, due to higher strength and especially lower stretch (plus higher stiffness makes it easier to work with and more tangle resistant), but that costs much more. Or use something like 3mm accessory cord from PMI (available at REI).This is an excellent budget option for very thin / lightweight cord that will serve many purposes, and is much lighter and less bulky than most accessory cord which is way thicker than necessary. The retro-reflective filament works great and looks good (retro-reflective is not the same thing as reflective, so if you don't understand the difference, don't blame the product.. It does exactly what it's supposed to do.).

This cord is highly reflective. I used it at camp. My headlamp reflected back at me in the night and made it very easy to spot my campsite. It seems strong enough. The price was great. I have one knit-pick about the quality of the cord. The reflective thread feels rough in some spots on the cord. It's an annoyance if it is running through your hand. I bought two bundles of this cording. The problem is only with the red cord. The blue cord does not have the issue. It seems to be an imperfection in the weave of the one cord. I have included a photo that shows the issue. It's the reflective threading that has the issue.Aside from that small problem, I really like this cording.

Worked great for camping, super happy with it.

I really like the slimness & color of this cordage. It’s great for a lot of general purpose projects - I even used it to hang some Christmas ornaments. After some hard use on a few strands it frayed up a little faster than expected (4/5 stars) but still overall will work good with a lot of stuff.

I have a non-freestanding tent that gives the most interior room when fully guyed. These lines held up in windy, rainy weather (they stretched a little and needed to be tightened, but that's too be expected with this type of line). They were very reflective by headlamp at night which I appreciate for safety. The reflective part of the line feels a little rough to me, making the line a little difficult to tie up for storage, but overall I really liked it anyways. The two colors were good so I could cut them to different lengths and know at a quick glance which length I wanted.

TLDR: This line has a nylon core, so it stretches. Blue is more smoothly woven. Broke at 180lbs.I’m comparing this line to Kelty Triptease (KT) and Nite Ize (NI) reflective green line. This Paracord Planet (PP) is a good middle ground between the two.Reflectivity: NI is the brightest, because the reflective strip woven into the sheath is very wide. KT and PP are similar.Weave / Texture: NI is the roughest/worst, again because of the wide reflective strip. The green and orange PP are much better but it is still noticeable. If you were to slide it across your hand under tension there’d be a possibility of some abrasion. The KT and the blue PP are the smoothest. You almost can’t feel the reflective strip at all. I don’t know why the PP stuff is different between different colors.Tensile behavior: KT is the only one that has a UHMWPE core, the others are all nylon. As a consequence they stretch pretty significantly whereas the KT does not. Whether that’s good depends on your application. For tent guylines I prefer no stretch, but both definitely work.I tested the PP (green) and it held at 175lbs, but broke at 180 or so. This was pretty static (body weight gently hanging). The setup was a pull between two round stock carabiners with the cord wrapped 6-7 times and then tied off with a few half hitches. Hopefully that minimized the strength lost in the knot. Interestingly, the portion of the core that was near the break got all fuzzy. The part that wasn’t tensioned in my test was still smooth. This suggests that the core could be weakened from heavy or cyclical loads, even if it hasn’t failed yet.I’d keep your working load for this cord well under 100lbs. Probably more like 50.The three PP hanks I received weighted 144 g combined (60m) so it weighs 2.4 g/m.Hope this helps. I’m still looking for a cheaper source of UHMWPE core line that has a good sheath, basically the KT line but cheaper. Let me know if you find some!

This is a noticeably thinner than green Nite Ize cord. It only has one thin reflective strand so it is also significantly less reflective than Nite Ize cord and it is a somewhat limper cord. I prefer a stiffer cord for tent lines because it is less prone to tangling. However, if your goal is to save weight and have reflective cord this is a good choice. Overall, it strikes me as being a great product for the money. I bought it to use for equipment leashes such as on my satellite communicator where I want something that is lightweight, bright yellow, and reflective. Note that to see reflective material, ideally the light source should be close to your eyes, e.g., a headlamp.

A thin rope that does not take up space in the pack and can be used for many purposes in a camp.

The product was great, but like a lot of people I have difficulty in recognizing thickness without anything to compare it against. In this case showing a standard pencil against the paracord to give a good comparison. So whilst initially I was disappointed, I have now found another use for it, so all's well that ends well. Delivery was amazingly quick

単価も適切、蛍光が入ってるのでキャンプ場での事故防止になり良いと思います。

写真で見るよりオレンジ色寄り、でもオレンジではない赤とオレンジの中間位なのでご注意下さい品質は大変良いです

Arrived next day, as last time. Perfect. Reflective strand and neon-pink colour is and visible in dark shady corners in the garden. Knots and ties so nicely, smooth releases, firm grip, without slippage. Thinness is not to be underestimated as light duty. Compared to thicker 4mm cordage from unreputable makers with multiple nylon internal strands to beef up the grip and appearance, this thin Paracord Planet cordage ropes very nicely, singes nicely in fire (thinner = less goopey mess), has a medium amount of slipperiness and feels nice in the hand. Tripped enough times from black and army green cordage in the dark. Although it doesn't match camo and military colours it's practicality over masculinity. 10 meters (yards) the cord won't be noticed obviously, unless under torch light or car headlights. $20.98 AUD shipped is the cheapest colour version. 20m is sufficient for a dozen 1m guylines, but for bushcrafting, tarps, hanging hammock ridgelines, tying up bush stuff, having 30m ready in the pack is better.
