Good, quality cord…
Posted by Petet on 8th Jun 2021
Nice, consistent and tightly woven sheathing around elastic that seems to have no memory and good snap back. Can’t speak to how it will hold up over time but, based on past experience, it feels like will do well over the long haul. Will definitely buy again.

Seems good!

Used this shock cord to re-string some old tent poles. Worked well, and the cord seems to be of good quality. Only time will tell really.

1/16 for all the little stuff
Posted by John Riddle on 28th Sep 2020
As described. Makes for great bivy tieouts or silnylon shelter tensioners so there's no sag overnight. Takes a flame well to keep the ends from fraying.

Great for tent pole repair
Posted by SRD on 9th Sep 2020
I ordered this to fix the overstretched, worn out cord in my REI backpacking tent poles. It shipped fast and it was easy to replace the worn out cord with this new cord.

Just what I wanted
Posted by Brian Edward Keenan on 21st Aug 2020
Awesome that Litesmith will sell this to you by the foot so I don't have to buy a whole butt-load of this stuff if all I wanted was a couple feet!
I already had a Nitecore NU25. I fashioned my own ultralight band out of a couple feet of this stuff and a mini cordlock. Like $2 worth of materials! -

Redid the cord for my tent poles with a couple colors, this worked great. Stoked on getting a change from the boring white/black standard options!

Great shock cord
Posted by Norma on 6th Jun 2020
I bought this cord to use as elastic continuous loop for covid masks. It is perfect. The customer service was wonderful, I made a mistake and ordered the wrong size, but Litesmith caught it and called me!
My package arrived in just a few days. -
Fantastic!
