This cord was my favorite for bear bag hangs on a recent thru-hike of the PCT. I tried a number of types of cord, braided, sheathed, and woven cord. I recall my first hang with the slick cord…there’s no better or more simple explanation than to say the whole experience was very slick! I finished the hike using this cord that out performed all the others.

– Melvin F., ★★★★★

This cord is made of solid braided 100% UHMWPE fiber with no sheathe. It is smooth and slick which allows it to slide over branches easier. This cord is excellent for fixed length guy-lines, or bear bagging only if you are careful.

The slick line is not as bright and doesn't grip as well as the sheathed Z-Line, but it is stronger by weight.

Tangle Cord

I so much wanted to like this cord, but tangled almost every time I used it. It eventually got tangled in a tree on the AT. It’s probably still there where it belongs.

Not good

This stuff is way to thin so it literally tangles itself with zero effort. It's like dealing with super thin fishing line. I am going back to the thicker stuff, it is much more manageable and an example of when lighter weight doesn't make sense.

50 ft., 1.2mm, Z-line slick cord

This cord was my favorite for bear bag hangs on a recent thru-hike of the PCT. I tried many types of cord for this purpose, while looking for an ultra light rig, that would do the job. I tried a number of types, braided, sheathed, and woven cord. I recall my first hang with the slick cord…there’s no better or more simple explanation than to say the whole experience was very slick! I finished the hike using this cord that out performed all the others.
