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!

Well from my experience Paracord either comes as Nylon Paracord or Polyester Paracord. They have the same "Break" strength but nylon is a bit more flexible and costs more. So to answer your question....Yes it is wrapped in paracord, I just don't know what material.

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 fairly flexible after curing, like plastic. It's less hard and not nearly as brittle as most epoxies. It's very, very tough and difficult to break under bending forces. But that said, it's still VERY solid. I would not describe it as rubbery.

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's not stiff at all. It's very flexible. On the flip side, I've had issues with my controller not charging while plugged in, and frequent game interruptions because the PS3 thought my controller was unplugged (which it wasn't).

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.

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

No, it is narrower. I put pieces side-by-side and the paracord is about twiuce the diameter. (~1/8").

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.

Yes its very thin and feels like it has a coating similar to teflon. Once you crank down on the knot its not coming out. Some of the best cord next to the tried and true 550

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.

The material is not a rigid plastic nor is it overly pliable like rubber but to the touch it will feel softer like rubber.

It's not so stiff you can't work with it but not real soft either. I use qsnaps and it holds its shape better than some aidas. Love to work with it

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 is somewhat soft, if it is a small piece or if you curve it, it will stand up. For example, it works really well for fake ear cartilage - I used it for some lamb ears. small pieces will stand up but large will not.

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.
