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!

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

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

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

Hey, M R:It's Darren Wright from Paracord 550 MilSpec (TM). Thanks for your question!Paracord is very strong and durable, especially for the small diameter of the cord. However, it's not at all made for mountain climbing. The lines used for mountain climbing are much heavier and sturdier than Paracord. Hope this helps!Darren

It is strung but not very tight. I had to restring it within a month after I bought it.

It's fairly stiff but it's not metal to the best of my knowledge. I think the goal was to keep some flexibility in it.

It is rigid, but not as thick as PVC. It is thinwall plastic tube. It will be okay for a cane, but it won't hold a lot of weight. We used it to make glow in the dark batons for relay for life.

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

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.

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 is easy to tie, very pliable. Does not hold knots very well. Almost feels like Teflon.

It's not a really hard plastic, but I wouldn't call it soft, either. But it is somewhat flexible. It's not padded, but I find it comfortable enough to wear most of the day.

It is somewhat pliable. The knife goes in it but it heals up. I haven't had any problems with it.

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

Its noticeable but unless you are grinding your head into the bench its not bad. The cord is flexible and repetitively soft. I fall asleep wearing mine at night without issue.

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.
