is shock cord same as bungee cord?

No, shock cord is more like parachute cord. You would use it as a lifeline on your kayak. To use in a buddy rescue situation. To hang on to your kayak in case you capsize.

Yes, I purchased shock cord for my reclining lawn chairs and it looked exactly like the bungee cords that I have for tie downs.
1507268
yes just smaller diameter than the type you would buy to hold down tarps and such. Perfect replacement for most cords on nearly all kayaks.

In a small way. It is a stretchy nylon wrapped cord but it is lighter duty than a bungee and you would Never use it to perform any jumping. It works great for strapping things down and for use in zero gravity chairs.

It is similar. This doesn't have as much stretch in it, which allows for stronger stability

I bought it to replace the aging cord in my outdoor lounge chairs. It is very similar to bungee, acts the same way, may not stretch quite as much but would be great for a tarp tie down.

They serve the same function as a bungy- type cord. I bought them to strap down stuff on the rear rack of my bicycle.

550 Paracord typically measures 5⁄32 inch (4 mm) in diameter 1/16" thicker than 3/32 shock cord

The extension cord I purchased is a 50amp 30' cord. However, this picture seems to show a much shorter cord that the one I have. My cord is heavy and seems like a much bigger coil that what is pictured. Hopefully, this just a misprint for the picture. The price is about what I paid for my 30' cord.

Is the shock cord elastic? Can it be cinched down tighter so it will not blow off in heavy wind?

Springs. Not a bungee cord in sight. The springs have "S" hooks that connect them to the mat on one end, and the outer ring of the rebounder on the other.

Btw, they are both one and the same, I've only used mine with the cord and love it..

It should, but for safety I would go the hardware store and get some 1/2'' nylon braded rope. The para cord is good for tarps tent lines etc, it has a 500lb test, sounds like a lot but if you weigh 180 and hop in a chair you exceed that easily.

The bungee cords come with the hooks. They work great and I'm very happy with them. I have a Nissan Altima and fit perfectly.

There are two hooks on each side that hold the bungee cord, so you do not have to knot the end of the cord. I usually do not knot the cord, as that way the cord is adjustable.

To my knowledge it is still the same. It is a hard mic to find a shock mount for, so I just went with the stock solution.

It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord. When you melt / char the end of the chord to prevent it's unraveling, the melted end will barely pass through the lock, so I would say 1/8 is about max. I tried a heat shrinkable cap on the end, but it would not pass through the lock. I have used the locks on regular elastic shoe laces before I bought the shock cord. Even when the elastic inside the shoe lace had broken, and just the braided outer cover was all that was holding, the lock still held and prevented the lace from slipping. These are the strongest springs in this type of cord lock I have encountered.

Yes it is the bungee type. Looks like it's laced up. I'm not sure about the difference comfort wise because these are the first ones we purchased and can't compare it to anything else. They are very comfortable.

No. I've never used anti-shock poles to compare, but I never had any problems with these.

Yes, it is. The included shock mount is removable allowing you to add your own.

The answer is yes to both. However, you might want to match the diamter of the cord to the shock cord in your tent poles to ensure it will be strong enough.

In my opinion springs are the best option. The bungee cords are too elastic and do not provide the quick rebound I was looking for.
