Review on DPLUS Camping Fluorescent Reflective Paracord by Joshua Coulter

Having worked in the US Air Force for 24 years, the word "Paracord" has a fairly specific meaning - it's the cord used in parachute lines becomes. It's widely accepted to be able to withstand 550 pounds of static electricity per wire. It has many uses other than parachutes. It was a staple at most stores I worked at. This cord doesn't claim to live up to the standards of real paracord, so I think it's a little misleading. The item description on the product page is a bit strange with claims like "nylon frame" and "acrylic glass". I'm not sure what they're talking about, although it might just be a translation issue. Anyway, the cable itself is quite interesting. It is slightly thicker than real paracord and has a "reflective" property. The outer layer of the cable has some sort of reflective material woven into it that will slightly reflect light when a ray hits it. This can come in handy in a number of situations. The cord seems quite strong, although I wouldn't trust it as much as I would a military grade paracord. The cable is wound on a plastic spool, which is very convenient as it does not get tangled. Once stretched, it doesn't seem to stretch very much under additional stress (I use it to stretch between large trees and then place relatively heavy hanging baskets on top of it). Overall this is a pretty decent line, but if you want real paracord you can find significantly cheaper deals at Revain by searching "paracord". I would recommend this leash for situations where you need the reflective nature of the leash or if you need a high visibility leash for safety reasons.
