Great climbing accessory cord
Good, strong cord. I’ve used it to secure carabiners to accessories such as the Petzl public and personal anchor systems. Also works well for making hanging cord for other accessories. It’s bomber, and small, light weight
Great lightweight cord, a few things to consider
This cord is a great option for lightweight ties and other applications, but I've found the sheath to be very slick when compared to similar sized nylon cordage I've used previously and Maxim Tech Cord, which has the same dyneema/polyester construction but a wider diameter. It may not be as reliable in applications that rely on friction hitches/tensioners like guy lines. I bought this to add drawstrings to stuff sacks, and while it works with the cordlocks I have, they slide more easily without depressing the button than when I've used comparable nylon cord. I was slightly concerned that the ends would not seal well with the dyneema core, but I have not had an issue with that like I did using the larger diameter Maxim Tech Cord. The cord I got was white. The listing does say colors are assorted, but I was still kind of bummed since all of the examples are colors.
Good quality; tech. spec. way off on cord weight
Good quality multi-purpose general cord. I weighed the 1.8mm cord at 8 grams/ foot.
Works as a laces for mtn bike shoes
Nice thin cord used to replace the broken laces on a pair of mountain biking shoes. This cord is closer in diameter to the original laces so it worked better than the standard 3mm paracord.
