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!

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

This Paracord is very lightweight and is real "550 paracord" meaning that its maximum strength is around 550 pounds. So this stuff is very light and amazingly strong and i highly recomend it.

Hey, M R:It's Darren Wright from Paracord 550 MilSpec (TM). Thanks for your question!Paracord is very strong and durable, especially for the small diameter of the cord. However, it's not at all made for mountain climbing. The lines used for mountain climbing are much heavier and sturdier than Paracord. Hope this helps!Darren

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's soft and bendable but thick enough to be useful for a long time. I fully agree with the previous four answers and I definitely would buy this same product again from the same vendor because the service was excellent, too.

They are soft, but I would describe them as flexible. They are made of silicone so they are very durable.

Okay to answer your question when I was in the military we were instructed on how to rapid decent with paracord. It is not optimal but can be done. However given that this child will be using it I assume repeatedly I would suggest braiding it so that you get a better tensel strength. You can even call me at 740 577 8503 if you would like and I will explain in detail the benefits ad pitfalls.

It is easy to tie, very pliable. Does not hold knots very well. Almost feels like Teflon.

It's rigid, and not like a rubber band if that's what you're asking. It is supposed to be sturdy and you "do the work" by stretching with it. My PT group uses it for everyone and I bought one for home use. Worth every penny. You can make one yourself if you have nylon webbing and can sew. However, for the time spent do go through all of that, just buy one.

No, that seemed to be ok. It should feel stiff. With use it should get easier to use.

It's actually pretty stiff. It's not something that's going to bend very easily..

I don't think it is particularly stiff. It is smaller than a regular mouse, so I expect it would depend on how you rest your hand on it and how much you use it.

sadly no this cord is very stiff and I've tried to soften it up with use but to no avail. however they sound amazing so i deal with the cord issues.

It's pretty thin, about an inch wide without the paracord. I ended up just making a wooden handle for it. It has 2 holes in the tang, so you won't have to drill them out yourself.

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 rigid, but not as thick as PVC. It is thinwall plastic tube. It will be okay for a cane, but it won't hold a lot of weight. We used it to make glow in the dark batons for relay for life.
