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!

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.

Yes. However, it is a bit smooth. I would wrap it with paracord or gaffers tape.

Eh, it's not the most flexible stuff I've ever used, but it's not that stiff either. It's about on par with any other low count stranded when it comes to flexibility. In general, the higher the strand count the more flexible the wire. Wire with silicon insulation is usually much more flexible as well. This stuff is nowhere near 'wet noodle' soft, but it can still be bent easily enough.

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

It's not stiff at all. It's very flexible. On the flip side, I've had issues with my controller not charging while plugged in, and frequent game interruptions because the PS3 thought my controller was unplugged (which it wasn't).

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

It is definitely not stiff. I usually use two pieces when making a project.

Yes, in it's default state it is very stiff. You may actually have trouble getting it straight enough for making pushrods because of the natural curve of the wire its packaging. Since the wire is high carbon steel, it should respond well to annealing and re-hardening if you are willing to put that much work into it.

I definitely would. I've bo bought paracord from different brands and sometimes ended too short. This particular brand I did fine with.

It is easy to handle and flexible, very similar to braided fishing line. Standard knots will slip, so you need to use knots designed for synthetic line i.e. Palomar, figure-8 . Very strong, would buy again

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 fairly stiff, as are all paper tapes. Not good for use on areas of the body like joints or areas that require a lot of flexibility. Was used for securing bandage to the back of an individual that was primarily confined to bed. This paper tape product is the superior to other brands I've used.

It's almost like a thick corduroy. It's not a soft plush material. I like it, it is something I feel will last quite a while and wouldn't tear easily.

It's fairly stiff but it's not metal to the best of my knowledge. I think the goal was to keep some flexibility in it.

it is not the scratchy hard plastic kind. It is a softer, more user friendly braide.

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.
