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!

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.

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 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.

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

The specs on 550 paracord is closer to 3/16". I think the technical specs for 550 paracord are 4.3 mm or 0.169". This is very close to a standard size paracord, but may be a tiny bit thicker than china made paracord. It is not 3/8"

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

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

yes it will work with paracord. the buckles on it are standard for most smaller projects like bracelets and small/med dog collars, key chains/fobs. It is adjustable for longer pieces as well. I believe you can swap for larger buckles if needed. Good Luck!

I had no problem with the flexibility of the cord. It's not overly thick and is easily maneuvered.

It is significantly softer than the Doc Johnson Dick Rambone, but firm enough to be usable. I personally find it a bit too flexible.

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).

No, that seemed to be ok. It should feel stiff. With use it should get easier to use.

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, I have used it for many projects, and it seems to be holding up. (I make paracord items and also bracelets) Hope that helps.

It's soft. It won't do much for you if you drop it. It's thin. Also the chances of the bow being attached when you get it are slim to none
