Is the paracord soft and malleable or is it stiff.

I would say it's in between. Very good quality, easy to work with and most important to anyone crafting with Paracord, it splices very good. I have never had any problems with Paracord Planet cord.

I would say it is somewhere in between. Great to tie knots with. Very strong!

It is quite thick, so not very likely to kink. I've sometimes had tangling problems with thinner cords, but not kinks. If a little caution is used to be sure you don't pull hard on it without looking, there should be no problem. I use this cord in the woods with a chainsaw, and I really like it.

no it's a rubber-like material, matte and smooth. the cables are flattened for some reason, they seem to tangle less

I use paracord in a couple different ways. Either hanging from my backpack or attatched tightly to my belt. This is a great knife

It is soft and cushy. It is completely bendable. I don't know how long it would last of you were doing that every day, but it is capable.

I definitely would. I've bo bought paracord from different brands and sometimes ended too short. This particular brand I did fine with.

Its not stiff at all. Its very flexible. You can roll it up like a burrito.

No, the cable is not stiff at all. The flat shape of the cable was a selling point for me since the shape resists tangling and tying into knots.

I find the braided one to actually be more maneuverable than the non-braided version that is the same thickness. The "ultra-thin" non-braided is the most maneuverable/flexible, but I feel like it's not a durable either. If you're not moving your cable around often it shouldn't really matter which one you get, so more of a personal preference. I switch between two displays on my laptop regularly and I like the braided version a little more for that, but have a non-braided one for my Xbox.

It is not braided but the bigger diameter vinyl. Still flexible but not as flexible as the smaller diameter.

I'd use the best paracord I could get. Be aware that there's a lot of inferior cord out there, looks the same but isn't. Do your homework on who you buy it from.

It is pretty stiff. There is a slight give because it is basically rigid and hard.

It's rigid, and not like a rubber band if that's what you're asking. It is supposed to be sturdy and you "do the work" by stretching with it. My PT group uses it for everyone and I bought one for home use. Worth every penny. You can make one yourself if you have nylon webbing and can sew. However, for the time spent do go through all of that, just buy one.

It's not quite as smooth around the edges as the seat belt. But it's not a stiff material at all. I would say that it is a soft webbing.

The cord is flexible, but it does not stretch. Other than that, it is made of good material and doesn't fray so quickly. I hope this helps you.

Yes, you could call it soft. I am using the wire (in a 3d printer) controlling moving parts. The constant flexing of the wire has not caused any problems.

Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) . It will elongated over time under load (a feature to add some elasticity to a hanging paratrooper). As for the rest of the things you describe paracord won't mildew/mold and relatively weather resistant. The knots will hold but make sure you using knots that work well with slippery cord. At the very least you will want to throw an overhand knot at the running ends of your knots as stoppers. And strength shouldn't be an issue. You may want to use nylon straps as they will probably work better in this case. Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) .
