Great rope!
I bought two hanks of rope for a canoe trip into the Boundary Waters. It performed well as a clothesline and the other hank was unneeded as I had no need to set up my small tarp. The reflective feature worked great; I'm glad I went with it.
Light, strong, reflective, bright color, a little stiff
I have no complaints about this cordage. When I purchased my hammock tarp initially, I used scraps of cordage that I happened to have lying around for my guy lines. They were different colors, different lengths, and some were soft and limp, others were more rigid. None of those cords were very reflective. I purchased two of these 50' hanks and made guy lines that are equal lengths and all the same. This cord is visible in the day because of the bright color (I got the blue) and it's reflective and easily visible with red or white headlamp light. This cordage is also a little stiff, which I like. It makes it a little easier to work with for knots that way. For me, it's both easier to tie the knots and also easier to untie them because it's less inclined to bind. I use Dutch Bowline/Larks heads to attach the lines to my tarp and farrimond friction hitches to tension the lines to my stakes.
Wire that glows
Kept my tarp up. Reflective is nice but I still trip over it constantly. Maybe don’t get black.
Good color and reflective thread. But the rope is a little bit too stiff than expected. Probably good for some uses. Still, good item
