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!

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) .

Yes, you could call it soft. I am using the wire (in a 3d printer) controlling moving parts. The constant flexing of the wire has not caused any problems.

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.

it is not the scratchy hard plastic kind. It is a softer, more user friendly braide.

It's not Para cord (550 cord) its nylon I replaced it and its a great knife easy to sharpen holds an edge for a while and you can't beat the price. It's a great buy for your buck

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

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

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's almost like a thick corduroy. It's not a soft plush material. I like it, it is something I feel will last quite a while and wouldn't tear easily.

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

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.

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"

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

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.

If you mean by soft you mean cashmere, then no. It's a slightly course tight weave but not rough. It's flexible and not as stiff and director chair fabric. I love this product. It's in my back yard under a shade tree and in spring and summer I go out to read or take naps. It's description is quite accurate, it is a Brazilian hammock which I'm familiar with from trips to Fortaleza, Brazil. You will enjoy it, or, you can return it. Nothing lost.
