SGT KNOTS Marine Grade Bungee Cord - 100% Elastic Cord, Dacron Polyester Bungee Shock Cord for DIY, Tie Downs, Commercial | 1/8" x 100ft, Royal Blue

This is exactly what I was looking for. I ordered 3/16" diameter cord for my custom kayak bungees and this appears to be the same cord that came with the kayak. Excellent elasticity and strong.

Great service, great product, great price. Since they're trustworthy, I will be experimenting with more of their products. Looks most impressive. Will be testing this more this summer. Thank you!

Not alot to say about shock cord lol. However this is good quality stuff. Tons of color options. Buy a small roll to have on hand for gear fixes and setting up kit. Million and one uses. 10/10 would buy again.

Ordered the wrong size at first which was on me but this stuff is NICE and I used the other one for a tie for a bungee toy. The second one I got was still a little too big for the cord lock... the wheel part doesn't go in and stay in but it's fine because the cord is thick enough that it holds just fine for what I need. Quality product shipped super fast.

I am going back for my third 100 foot reel of this cord.The UV resistance has been excellent aboard my sailboat where I use the cord for retention of my flag halyard to the toe rail. This is my most UV exposed application and it has held up very well in weather 24/7/365. Even the color (red) has held up. Very pleased with that compared to other cord I have used.I highly recommend rolling your own bungees (second picture). There are any number of hooks available on Amazon in various configurations. You can deal with almost any bungee related use case if you make your own plus it is way cheaper and way more configurable to your specific needs.I had typically used 3/8" cord and was a little reluctant to go with 1/4" cord (Sgt knots is out of stock on 3/8) but I was very pleasantly surprised with the robustness of the 1/4 inch. No problem for my applications.For example, I decided to make an anchor snubber (first picture) a couple of weeks ago and had a bunch of the 1/4 inch bungee sitting in the garage with nothing to do. Normally a snubber would require two strands of 1/2 or 3/4 bungee to deal with a 7500 pound sailboat with chain rode. I decided to use a big loop of four strands of the 1/4 inch resulting in a combined 8 5 foot strands of bungee to provide about two feet of "spring". This worked perfectly at anchor in up to 20 Kts gusts of wind. So, for you sailors out there, this stuff is the bomb. Good UV performance and quite robust.I checked the stretch factor - there must be a technical name for this - and found the cord would stretch comfortably from four feet at rest to six feet at pretty full stretch. You can do the math to figure out what that means for your application and your cord length. As I mentioned, the "resistance to stretch" ls excellent based upon my experience with my snubber. Again, there is probably a technical term for this too.

Product is as described and appears of good quality. My intent was to use this for replacement of worn out shock cord to a tent I have. The poles are 9.5 mm (3/8") diameter and a 9/64" drill bit slides easily in the hole the cord goes into to hold the tent pole sections together. The cord comes off the spool slightly oval in shape and isn't easy to fit inside the hole. This is why I only rated this product as 4 stars.1/64" of room with an oval shape isn't enough clearance to thread the cord through. I'm still experimenting on how to thread this cord inside the 18' of poles the tent uses. I'm going to try fishing line next to try and pull the line back through after attaching the shock cord fastened to it with tape. In hindsight, a 3/32" diameter shock cord is what is needed for the 9/64" hole in the tent poles. Good quality and stretch, I'll most likely keep it and find other ways to use it. Tent repair kits seldom mention the cord size used in their kits.I hope this helps others when evaluating what is needed to repair their tent poles. It is very frustrating that tent manufacturers (located in USA, sold in USA, and used by Americans) continue to force the metric measurements on us. In this country we use SAE measurements, NOT metric.edited June24-2013:I found a better way to thread the shock cord through the tent poles. I'd bought a tent pole replacement kit and ended up using the included threader to pull the strong string attached to the shock cord through. I couldn't get the tape to stay on the wire in the above method. Instead I used a strong piece of thread (maybe dental floss if you don't have anything else) and some bees wax. I took a sewing needle and came a quarter inch from the end and threaded the needle though. Then I came at a right angle to the 1st needle insertion points and threaded it through again. That way the thread is attached in 4 places. Be sure to start out with thread that is about 3 feet long. Take the needle off the thread and tie a knot close to the end of the shock cord.Then I used the threader supplied in the tent pole kit to fish the thread through and then pulled the attached cord through. Repeat this as many times as necessary to get the cord through all the poles. Each different group of poles you will need to thread the needle through the shock cord to reattach the strong thread through the poles. The bees wax on the needle end of the thread made it sticky enough I didn't need to tie a knot in the thread to pull it through.Once I got this system figured out, it took a little over an hour to install the shock cord through 4 sections of poles, (each section had 9 poles in it). I did not cut the shock cord until I had the cord threaded all the way through each group of 9 poles. Then I tied knots in the end I had just finished threading through. Then I cut the end where the spool was. I used a small clamp to keep stop the cord from going inside the poles while I was tying knots in the 2nd end.Hope this helps at least one person. Every store I asked about this couldn't-wouldn't help, they all wanted to sell me a new tent. Good luck, Mike
