First, I very much like the variety of colors available from this company. For me, that serves two purposes. The first is color coding helps me identify wrapped and tied items. Second, I can color match. This particular spool (the teal color) was used as pull cords for outdoor shades of nearly the same color. The normal black paracord would have worked, but this makes for a nicer look. Additionally, color choice means I can use contrasting color to stand out against the background. We use paracord in our deer fencing. We tie carabiners to one section of fence with the paracord and then clip the carabiner to the other side of the cut to create a simple opening. Bright red (as an example) paracord against green deer fence makes it easy to locate the gate in an otherwise indistinguishable section of fencing. So that's a big positive.
As far as quality is concerned, I can't speak to overall strength as I have no way to test that. I will say this product seems to be as strong as any other paracord of the same size that I have used. Two quality points I can make are that the cord has gone through a pretty intense winter and has not gotten stiff and the color has not faded. I will follow up if summer sun changes either of those two statements.
