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 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.

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.)

It is fairly stiff, as are all paper tapes. Not good for use on areas of the body like joints or areas that require a lot of flexibility. Was used for securing bandage to the back of an individual that was primarily confined to bed. This paper tape product is the superior to other brands I've used.

Okay to answer your question when I was in the military we were instructed on how to rapid decent with paracord. It is not optimal but can be done. However given that this child will be using it I assume repeatedly I would suggest braiding it so that you get a better tensel strength. You can even call me at 740 577 8503 if you would like and I will explain in detail the benefits ad pitfalls.

It is "a little flexible within limits dictated by a pre-formed shape", you wouldn't be able to tie knots w/ the cord or fold it in half. It's somewhat flexible though.

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

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.

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.

It is thin and pliable. They come two to a packet. One of mine came apart at the seam. The other has not SO FAR !

sadly no this cord is very stiff and I've tried to soften it up with use but to no avail. however they sound amazing so i deal with the cord issues.

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.

There are a few videos on YouTube showcasing how sharp and durable the blade actually is. The handle is already wrapped with paracord but if you want to wrap addition cord I say go for it.

The paracord is orange. However, it's extremely simple (and common) to rewrap this knife. I chose black cord and watched a YouTube video that showed me an even "meatier" way to wrap it. It can be done, easily, in under 20 minutes. To boot, this knife is a workhorse. The sheath is top-quality and adjustable.

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.

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.

It is medium soft type of thing. I was hoping it would be harder when I got, but it kinda, worked out for me. Although, if I were to get another one, I would go for the angled ones for hip replacement. This one has best results in wheelchairs. I hope this helps. :-)
