Review on WEREWOLVES Reflective 550 Paracord - Durable Nylon Rope Roller for Camping & Outdoor Activities by Eric Pruett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It looks like good quality paracord but only reflects back to the light source.

I used this to make lines and canopy mounts. It is easy to work with and makes good knots. Seems to be a high quality cable. The tauntline clutch works well. I got it because it's sturdy, big, orange, and visible so you don't trip over it. It's very reflective, but only straight back to the source. Imagine a mirror reflecting light back to you, but only if you hold the mirror at the right angle. This means that if you're camping at night with your headlamp on and the light is coming from your forehead, that cord will bounce back *very* brightly to your eyes. But if you hold the flashlight at hip height, there is no reflection, only a small reflection at chest height. Because of the angles, it will reflect better if the light is coming from where you would normally hold the flashlight if you are farther away. But there's no tripping hazard when you're 100 feet away. That's why I was a bit disappointed, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars. But if you want a decent quality colored cord that reflects well straight back into the light source then get one and it won't disappoint.
