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's almost like a thick corduroy. It's not a soft plush material. I like it, it is something I feel will last quite a while and wouldn't tear easily.

It is very flexible. think of it as a fine rope. Very sturdy and strong. doesn't fray when working with it.

It's not too stiff. It's almost like a thicker fleece. My baby can suck her thumb and bend her legs without any trouble.

It's soft. It won't do much for you if you drop it. It's thin. Also the chances of the bow being attached when you get it are slim to none

It's not soft, as in squishy. Don't know if it's really plastic. It's dull and smooth. works great.

Yes, in it's default state it is very stiff. You may actually have trouble getting it straight enough for making pushrods because of the natural curve of the wire its packaging. Since the wire is high carbon steel, it should respond well to annealing and re-hardening if you are willing to put that much work into it.

The tubing is lightweight, and feels somewhat brittle. It is not soft in texture. The flexibility is more suitable to protect stationary cords (e.g.: between a computer and an outlet, rather than between a computer and mouse; or between a phone's base and the wall instead of base to handset).

I find the red connecting cable a bit stiff----prefer another brand of interchangeable needles when I am using "magic loop" method to do socks. I like the cloth case in which they are stored.

Connectors are somewhat stiff but not overall a pain like others. Overall I would rate the stiffness adequate and secure. Cables are not as stiff to move around and route in the case. Overall I am satisfied.

It is significantly softer than the Doc Johnson Dick Rambone, but firm enough to be usable. I personally find it a bit too flexible.

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.

Its plastic but it`s pretty soft and flexible. It bends easily,it's not hard or stiff feeling.

It looks and feels like real paracord, but I have not unwrapped it to test strength or durability. If you were a contestant on Naked and Afraid this probably isn't the one item you want to take with you, but for having around the house for $5 it is a god deal.

It is pretty stiff. I would only use it for a utilitarian application as opposed to a clothing closure for instance. Hope that helps.

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

Yes, it is soft and somewhat flexible, yet still sturdy. I can't say for sure it is silicone, but definitely a rubberized material making it comfortable in the hand. (I will try and post a pic.)
