Use this for boot laces. Wish the reflective part was more prominent. It's kind of reflective when they're clean and new, but not much, especially after they get a bit dirty. Like it anyway. Good and strong for a tight lace. And cool color.

4.0 out of 5 stars Type III but NOT mil spec
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2020
Size: 100 ftColor: Electric Blue W/ Reflective TracersVerified Purchase
It doesn't advertise as mil spec which is fine. It's not quite what I was expecting, it is what it is. It does ACTUALLY have reflective stripes which is cool. This may be self explanatory that the reflective stripe is not enough to be ANSI certified . But I don't think I would trust this paracord for anything other than being an accent in a paracord bracelet...but that's just my opinion. It looks really good as the blue strand in a thin blue-line paracord bracelet.

I used this red reflective 5-50 para chord to not o ly match the viper red color of my 85' Jeep CJ-7, and made two replacement door stopper straps for my jeep. I was tired of the old oem door straps so I made some nice news ones that are original amd not too many people have for their old classic Jeeps. I'm consodering making more of these and selling them online. I chose 5-50 chord becsuse it is super strong and whe. used lime I did only adds to the strength of the chord.

Paracord Planet never disappoints and this product is no different. This is the first reflective paracord I have purchased from them and it is very high quality. I bought it to make a couple key changing and to use it for tent/awning guy lines so at night they are reflective and during the day they are yellow to avoid trip hazards. Great product.
