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 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"

I would said it's kinda in between but more to the stiff and hard side. It's not as soft and flexible, you need some pressure to make it flexible.

Its not stiff at all. Its very flexible. You can roll it up like a burrito.

I had no problem with the flexibility of the cord. It's not overly thick and is easily maneuvered.

It is pretty stiff. It takes both my hands to bend it. I attached mine to my computer chair in the house to hold my keyboard. I love it.

It is quite thick, so not very likely to kink. I've sometimes had tangling problems with thinner cords, but not kinks. If a little caution is used to be sure you don't pull hard on it without looking, there should be no problem. I use this cord in the woods with a chainsaw, and I really like it.

It's sort of in between. It's rubber but not super hard either. It's soft rubber.

It is very flexible. think of it as a fine rope. Very sturdy and strong. doesn't fray when working with it.

No, the cable is not stiff at all. The flat shape of the cable was a selling point for me since the shape resists tangling and tying into knots.

The cords are very pliable and soft. They don't kink. If there is a kink when removed from case, just bend in the opposite way and the kink is removed. I love these needles. The best I've had. They are a bit thicker than other kinds, but the yarn flows freely, even at the needle joins.

It's not a really hard plastic, but I wouldn't call it soft, either. But it is somewhat flexible. It's not padded, but I find it comfortable enough to wear most of the day.

It's fairly flexible after curing, like plastic. It's less hard and not nearly as brittle as most epoxies. It's very, very tough and difficult to break under bending forces. But that said, it's still VERY solid. I would not describe it as rubbery.

Okay to answer your question when I was in the military we were instructed on how to rapid decent with paracord. It is not optimal but can be done. However given that this child will be using it I assume repeatedly I would suggest braiding it so that you get a better tensel strength. You can even call me at 740 577 8503 if you would like and I will explain in detail the benefits ad pitfalls.

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.

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 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.
