Comments about MSR Reflective Utility Cord Kit:

Bought this to tie off the rain fly. It doesn't take much light to see this reflective cord. Skipped the CamRing and used it with Nite Ize Figure 9 Carabiner.

Comments about MSR Reflective Utility Cord Kit:

I use this system to guy out my lightweight tarp. The cord is slim and lightweight, and lights up like a Christmas tree when even a dim light is shined on it (comes in handy on moonless nights in the backcountry after a midnight potty run).
The CamRings are great--super easy to use even with gloves on. You have to really pay attention to how you put them on, but once installed correctly they work very well.
The worst thing about the line and CamRings is that they're very easy to get tangled when the tarp is stored, and almost impossible to untangle in the field. It might not be such a problem with a larger tent but a small tarp is murder with the tangling issue. You have to be very careful with the way you wrap the cord around the tarp. Taking the cams off the cord for storage would solve the problem but it's not really a practical solution. But the benefits of the system far outweigh the difficulties.

Comments about MSR Reflective Utility Cord Kit:

I felt the need to add additional tie downs to my new Kingdom 8 tent and ran across this MSR reflective cord kit. I had seen the CamRing's before and thought they were clever but pricey for an unnecessary impulse purchase. With the need for additional tie downs and knowing kids were going to be running around the tents at night The reflective stripes were another clever idea, with the addition of the CamRings I had to give this kit a try.

The reflectiveness of the cords did not meet my expectations but was noticeable. The CamRings work well (a bit better than the standard stops)
Overall I am pleased with the perches and will probably buy more.

I also made one other modification, I added small carabiners to the reflective cord ends for quick takedown more versatility and less puncture points when tent is packed.
