It’s reflective, it’s stretchy, what’s not to like!

Great colors and reflective too! I wanted to find shock cord in my kids favorite colors to help ID their kit as well as help them lighten their packs a bit. This cord is thin but strong enough to do the job. Great stuff!

Worked Great!

Placed an order for a few myog projects (1.6 and 2 mm diameters) - they worked great! The cord is firm and durable, a little bit stretchy as you expect from shock cord, but it doesn't deform or stretch out permanently. Also, both diameters were compatible with the mini cord locks sold on this site, which was convenient.

Great shockcord
Posted by Billy Gray on 14th Sep 2017
I bought this shockcord for a daypack I made for my wife. She wanted a Bahama blue X-Pac pack which I put daisy chains on. I used the blue reflective shockcord in the daisy chains to give her some bling, but also from a practical perspective to have additional capacity for raingear, hiking poles, etc., and visibility at night. The shockcord is essentially shockcord, same functionality. The difference is the tracers which light up very well from a headlamp. So plenty of pack applications for this shockcord.
I'd say it would also work very well for an underquilt suspension and making your hammock camp more visible/easy to locate at night. -

Excellent
Posted by Shannon C on 22nd Aug 2016
I really like this shock cord. The colors and reflectivity make the cord usable for a variety of projects. A great alternative to the plain black that I have on several tents. I'm using this cord primarily to make a bunch of bungee straps for cables, camping gear, etc.

High quality with style!
Posted by Unknown on 8th Jul 2016
This is good stuff. I got the 3/32" which is perfect for re-stringing most tent poles and is sometimes hard to find. Nobody really needs color or reflective strips for tent poles, but I got the red instead of plain black...looks great and really is high quality shock cord. Definitely very reflective, too. Will reorder for the next set of poles and get some of the 1/16" for use on the ground sheet and net tent I sometimes add under my tarp.

I use shock cord for many things and needless to say I'm pleased to find this stuff. What an improvement over the basic black. Easy to see, hard to lose. Thanks for "reinventing the wheel."
