Makes great boot laces.

Boot laces are not made of quality material. Maybe I’m too demanding or rough but I’m lucky if they last a year. I’m a Paramedic and both boots and laces take a beating. This nite line utility cord, is extremely tough, long wearing and has the added benefit of being reflective. Great product!!

Excellent for rent guy wires

I bought this cord to replace the black line that originally came with my tent. Fellow campers kept tripping over the black guy wires, especially at night. I used them on our last camping trip and they worked perfectly. The bright orange was easy to see during the day and the reflective part made them stand out in the dark. They worked so well that I cut 6" sections and tied them around everything from my key ring to my backpack to make them stand out and easy to find.

easily visible

A basic 3mm cord, but shines brightly once hit with a flashlight/headlight. I use it as a line over my hammock to hang stuff. It makes finding your way to bed very easy, it lights up like an upside down goal post, that way no one walks into you as well. Strong enough to hang a bear bag with lots of boy scout's smellables. Even after years of use, it shines very well.

Great Cordage

I love this stuff. At night it is awesome, during the day the orange is awesome. Haven't tripped over a guyline once since I have started using. Find my food bags quickly in both day and night. Reflective is super reflective and orange is nice and bright. Knots tie and hold well, slides smoothly over branches. Only complaint is that I wish they made a smaller diameter as 3mm is a bit much for some applications.

Great Stuff!!

Have had this cord now for about 2 years. Backpacking and long distance cycle trips on and off during the years. Bear hangs, laundry line and tent line replacements even. Still holding strong and still has GREAT reflective element. Best use for me as an early riser is being able to find my hang easily..

Camping necessity

Great cord for our clothes line in BWCA. Loved the reflective nature of it. Easy to see at night.

No more tripping

This is a really nice cord to use. At night (if you are using your headlamp) you will clearly see the cord. Corner cube technology makes this visible even if you are using your red night vision mode.

Good paracord

Nice neon color for your outdoors/survival kit. Good for grip handles, tent hitches and other creative uses.

Great Tarp Tautline

Lightweight, reflective, and strong. All I can ask for a tent or tarp tautline.
