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!

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.

It's not stiff at all. It's very flexible. On the flip side, I've had issues with my controller not charging while plugged in, and frequent game interruptions because the PS3 thought my controller was unplugged (which it wasn't).

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

It is easy to handle and flexible, very similar to braided fishing line. Standard knots will slip, so you need to use knots designed for synthetic line i.e. Palomar, figure-8 . Very strong, would buy again

It is quite thick, so not very likely to kink. I've sometimes had tangling problems with thinner cords, but not kinks. If a little caution is used to be sure you don't pull hard on it without looking, there should be no problem. I use this cord in the woods with a chainsaw, and I really like it.

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.

Most paracords are thicker and a lot stronger.This is also very stretchy and could not be used to hold and weight..It is use for hoods or sleeves.If you want a cord with stretch that is thin this is it.This cord also comes in thicker sizes.Which can be bought at Quest Outfitters but not this cheap.

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.

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"

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. However, it is a bit smooth. I would wrap it with paracord or gaffers tape.

No, it's not stiff and if your making shamaballa bracelets it pretty good for that. It's not dry like hemp

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 definitely would. I've bo bought paracord from different brands and sometimes ended too short. This particular brand I did fine with.

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 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.
