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!

The tubing is lightweight, and feels somewhat brittle. It is not soft in texture. The flexibility is more suitable to protect stationary cords (e.g.: between a computer and an outlet, rather than between a computer and mouse; or between a phone's base and the wall instead of base to handset).

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

Most paracords are thicker and a lot stronger.This is also very stretchy and could not be used to hold and weight..It is use for hoods or sleeves.If you want a cord with stretch that is thin this is it.This cord also comes in thicker sizes.Which can be bought at Quest Outfitters but not this cheap.

It is thin and pliable. They come two to a packet. One of mine came apart at the seam. The other has not SO FAR !

It's not too stiff. It's almost like a thicker fleece. My baby can suck her thumb and bend her legs without any trouble.

It's almost like a thick corduroy. It's not a soft plush material. I like it, it is something I feel will last quite a while and wouldn't tear easily.

Yes, in it's default state it is very stiff. You may actually have trouble getting it straight enough for making pushrods because of the natural curve of the wire its packaging. Since the wire is high carbon steel, it should respond well to annealing and re-hardening if you are willing to put that much work into it.

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

The specs on 550 paracord is closer to 3/16". I think the technical specs for 550 paracord are 4.3 mm or 0.169". This is very close to a standard size paracord, but may be a tiny bit thicker than china made paracord. It is not 3/8"

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.

It's fairly stiff but it's not metal to the best of my knowledge. I think the goal was to keep some flexibility in it.

It is pretty stiff. There is a slight give because it is basically rigid and hard.

I definitely would. I've bo bought paracord from different brands and sometimes ended too short. This particular brand I did fine with.

It is soft and pliable. You can wrap around branches, etc. Hope this helps.

It's not so stiff you can't work with it but not real soft either. I use qsnaps and it holds its shape better than some aidas. Love to work 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.
