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 is, but not extremely. Like it looks in the picture, it's pretty stiff and takes two hands to re-position it. It's not hard to move, but doesn't coil or twist easily either.

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

it's kind of a soft plastic. Not a hard plastic, it has some give. It is not cheaply made. It is very smooth.

It's a great cable. It's soft and flexible. It's a little thick but it should work for what ur doing. It's not that thick.

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

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

The strap is rigid. It is plastic and somewhat bendable but is definitely stiff. I love these things and they are with me where ever I go. You will be glad you bought them.

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

It's sort of in between. It's rubber but not super hard either. It's soft rubber.

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.

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) .

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).

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 incredibly sturdy. I don't know that I would describe it as "flexible." It's very heavy gauge wire.

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

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