The color is written as assorted so you will receive any color. this is no concern because if you are buying this product you should not care about the color. this chord i have used in many different situations. I use it as accessory chord to hold things on my harness. I braided it and made a runner that holds 1000 lbs. It is my necklace chord (emergency chord) I hang my water bottle with it. Tie down tents, tarps, shoes on the outside of backpacks, and many more uses. Climb Run Bike Workout Sweat

This cord makes great replacement laces for hiking boots. However, when you order it, REI gives you whatever random color they feel like. What you see in the product description is not what you get. Some people may not care, I do. When I order something, I expect to get what I order.....

Boot lace application

I actually got these for boot laces. I was tired of the laces breaking in six months. Thus far it has far exceeded the expectations.

180% more expensive than the precut 50' lengths.

8 years ago

Compared to the precut 50' packages, this costs 180% more per foot; so instead of getting 50' for 5$ you're getting 27.7' for 5$. Is this otherwise a different product or is my math not straight? PMI cord is excellent, this pricing is wonky.
