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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

It is definitely not stiff. I usually use two pieces when making a project.

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.

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

The cords are very pliable and soft. They don't kink. If there is a kink when removed from case, just bend in the opposite way and the kink is removed. I love these needles. The best I've had. They are a bit thicker than other kinds, but the yarn flows freely, even at the needle joins.

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'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

The tubing is lightweight, and feels somewhat brittle. It is not soft in texture. The flexibility is more suitable to protect stationary cords (e.g.: between a computer and an outlet, rather than between a computer and mouse; or between a phone's base and the wall instead of base to handset).

It is pretty stiff. It takes both my hands to bend it. I attached mine to my computer chair in the house to hold my keyboard. I love it.

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