Customers are satisfied with the color of the cord rope. They mention that it reflects well, is visually delightful, and makes finding gear in the dark or at night easy. The darker colors reflect excellent, while the white is muted. The bright colors work very well for finding gear. The orange was exactly the shade they wanted and the reflective strips within the cord. The unique colors identify their gear at a glance.

Changed out Hammock Lines
I changed out all my tie-down hammock lines with this paracord. Mainly because, it came with black lines, which at night, is so-dumb.Why? It's dark, man! Don't put black lines!!!So change um out with this reflective cord. First off - way stronger than the factory lines and second, when you shine a light up near your hammock at night, the lines shine like the sun. It's amazing. No more tripping, no more problems in the evenings. They work perfectly and are safe for everyone (as long as they have a light).

First of all, Paracord Planet: the best value for money and the most robust paracord I've used over several decades. Fast shipping and easy to deal with .

Secondly, this paracord with a reflective thread: weaves just the same, provides a subtle reflective flicker that's eye-catching and a nice change from the solid colors.

Because these are available in shorter length only I find myself being more sparing and less experimental than with my 1000-foot spools.

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020
Color: Reflective Neon PinkSize: 50 ftVerified Purchase
The paracord itself is good. I use this color for Scouts camping, as either clothesline or hanging "bear" bags. In the day it stands out so easy to see, so as a clothesline it is perfect and safe; at night the reflective properties are excellent, again making it safe as you can see it with background light or a flashlight. As to hanging "bear" bags, well really raccoon bags in my area, the color makes them real easy to find, and at low light or night settings make it real easy to find to put away any forgotten trash or last minute snack. A reflective properties are very, very good. This is the second time I am buying this color from this company and will continue to do so if I need more. This is a perfect color if you need high visibility in the outdoors.

Color: Reflective Neon YellowSize: 100 ftVerified Purchase
It's not really Mil-spec, although it is 7-strands of nylon in the core. All paracord will stretch some under tension. The stretch on this is acceptable. It is well-made. Good for guying-out tents and tarps, any kind of tie-down application. Some have complained about poor reflectivity, but that has not been my experience with this paracord. When it is dark and you hit this stuff with a flashlight beam, it really lights up. That's much appreciated when you're walking around tent guy lines in the dark. Will buy more. Recommended.

I bought this to make a set of boot laces. Paracord doesn't come untied as easy. Some people are knocking it because it doesn't glow in the dark. It's not supposed to be. It is reflective. Not super reflective but it is.

Not much to really say other than I got these to replace the guy lines on my truck's awning, Costco canopies, and support lines for my truck's RTT. They are nice upgrades over the one's any manufacturer has provided with products that we've gotten. We'll buy more if needed.

Cord is ok, but not worth its price, as it barely glows in the dark. In a pitch black room you have to wait for your eyes to adjust, then you might be able to see it up close
