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 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.

Sounds about right. The paracord is light but strong. The clips are light and the rings are the only thing that are some what "heavier". But 8oz sounds about right.

I would said it's kinda in between but more to the stiff and hard side. It's not as soft and flexible, you need some pressure to make it flexible.

Yes, I have used it for many projects, and it seems to be holding up. (I make paracord items and also bracelets) Hope that helps.

It's soft and bendable but thick enough to be useful for a long time. I fully agree with the previous four answers and I definitely would buy this same product again from the same vendor because the service was excellent, too.

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) .

It is soft and pliable. You can wrap around branches, etc. Hope this helps.

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

it is not the scratchy hard plastic kind. It is a softer, more user friendly braide.

Very, very little stretch, if any at all. This is a "static" (I think that's the term!) cord. It's formed with a core of 7 two ply yarns, mostly white. The core iswrapped in the colored woven sheath. After you cut a piece, you will need to singe the ends to melt them to keep them from unraveling. There are severaltypes of paracord, but this answer refers specifically to the the cord I bought.

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

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.

It's rubber, but reinforced so it's fairly rigid. You should expect it to coil into approx. 18" dia. loops.

It's pretty thin, about an inch wide without the paracord. I ended up just making a wooden handle for it. It has 2 holes in the tang, so you won't have to drill them out yourself.

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'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.
