Is this like the rubbery/plasticy kind of elastic cord? Or is it more like those thick, durable, fabric string?

It's rubbery. It's not thick and I don't believe it's too durable. I used it for bracelets only.

It is durable fabric string, super good quality. I definitely recommend it.

Definitely the latter. It is a fabric-covered elastic so if the elastic inside somehow snaps (which is hard to do), the fabric keeps it together.

It's solid like fish line I love it and need to order more notblike fabric at all

I believe it is a nylon based rope/cord. Similar to parachute cord. I had no problem using mine to re-string a curtian rod. Hope this helps.

It's not rubbery at all. It feels plastic like. Kind of like a hard case for a cell phone.

It is stretchy. Not sure if it is elastic, per se. Perhaps it is some type of neoprene. Used it for the first time this morning and it worked beautifully.

I would say it's kind of a rubberized plastic. it's more stiff like plastic, but also has some rubbery give to it

It is elastic. Had to stretch it pretty far to get it around my seats but it didn't cause any problem. You can see it on my front seats but can't feel it.

So far they appear to be pretty durable. I have a 12 yr old BOY who is pretty rough in cords and we haven't lost one yet. I like the way the wire is connect to the plug, not at all like it can pull out easily like the others we have had. Hope this helps!!

It's netting, not rubber and not wire. It's more like cloth or nylon, it's stretchy. I and the kitties really like it so far. We did have to use some zip ties on the hammocks on the tall area but once we did they are much more secure. Thanks!

Most paracords are thicker and a lot stronger.This is also very stretchy and could not be used to hold and weight..It is use for hoods or sleeves.If you want a cord with stretch that is thin this is it.This cord also comes in thicker sizes.Which can be bought at Quest Outfitters but not this cheap.

It's not flexible like a cord but flexible enough to get around the back of your head and ears! I have mine for quite some time now and I love tnem! Hope that it'll help!

Kinda like a corduroy feel. That's the best way I can describe it. I got it a year ago and it's still holding great!

I'd say it's like a flexible plastic. Not as stretchy or bouncy as rubber, but also not so stiff that it would crack or chip if dropped.

It is easy to pull. I would not call it a string it is a cord and very sturdy. I hold top of chopper when I pull the cord. I never once thought about cord breaking. I use chopper all the time!

Yes, the cord is very tough. The wire inside is made of flexible steel and has a tough solid plastic coating. The wire is molded with left and right channels side-by-side like a lamp cord. It is of medium thickness. It is far thicker than small portable headphones but not as thick as most audiophile headphones. All of the materials in this model are more durable than they look at first. Many people get these and have a first impression that they are light and flimsy looking and feeling. But the materials are very carefully chosen and work to create a very durable set of headphones. My set has been dropped onto cement recently and they didn't suffer any damage at all, not even a scratch. Yes, the cord is very tough.

The one I received has a plastic beaded cord. It is very durable. I have had the shade outdoors for over a year in Florida and it is performing well. The shade looks good and the cord/roller still functions well.

Laura. This string is very strong, but it is nowhere near 1/8 inch thick. More like 1/32" thick! To get that type of thickness, you are going to have to go to shock cord, or parachute cord. I deal with cording and string all of the time, and I have yet to find any cotton, hemp, or nylon string in that thickness! Here is a link to 1/8 inch string, or cord, here on Amazon. I hope this helps! If not, you can contact me direct at thomsonprof at msn dot com. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HAMI53K?psc=1

It's the same material as bungee cord. If you have hooks on the sides of the trailer, you could weave this through the eyes on the tarp and pull the cord to the hooks on the trailer or use the cord to make your own bungee cords. It's a good quality cord though. It's cheaper to buy directly through sgtknots.com though
