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!

Well from my experience Paracord either comes as Nylon Paracord or Polyester Paracord. They have the same "Break" strength but nylon is a bit more flexible and costs more. So to answer your question....Yes it is wrapped in paracord, I just don't know what material.

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

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.

It is strung but not very tight. I had to restring it within a month after I bought it.

Yes, I have used it for many projects, and it seems to be holding up. (I make paracord items and also bracelets) Hope that helps.

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

It's not quite as smooth around the edges as the seat belt. But it's not a stiff material at all. I would say that it is a soft webbing.

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.

Its plastic but it`s pretty soft and flexible. It bends easily,it's not hard or stiff feeling.

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 looks and feels like real paracord, but I have not unwrapped it to test strength or durability. If you were a contestant on Naked and Afraid this probably isn't the one item you want to take with you, but for having around the house for $5 it is a god deal.

Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) . It will elongated over time under load (a feature to add some elasticity to a hanging paratrooper). As for the rest of the things you describe paracord won't mildew/mold and relatively weather resistant. The knots will hold but make sure you using knots that work well with slippery cord. At the very least you will want to throw an overhand knot at the running ends of your knots as stoppers. And strength shouldn't be an issue. You may want to use nylon straps as they will probably work better in this case. Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) .

i would say it's medium stiff. hard to give an answer but it's not "overstuffed" or "understuffed", you could probably squish it into half it's size but not much more

If you mean by soft you mean cashmere, then no. It's a slightly course tight weave but not rough. It's flexible and not as stiff and director chair fabric. I love this product. It's in my back yard under a shade tree and in spring and summer I go out to read or take naps. It's description is quite accurate, it is a Brazilian hammock which I'm familiar with from trips to Fortaleza, Brazil. You will enjoy it, or, you can return it. Nothing lost.

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).

no it's a rubber-like material, matte and smooth. the cables are flattened for some reason, they seem to tangle less
