50 Feet 1.2 mm Z-Line Slick Cord
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.

This cord is made of solid braided 100% UHMWPE fiber with no sheath. 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.

50 Feet 1.3 mm Z-Line Cord
This stuff is amazing! If you’re trying to go ultralight you can use it on virtually everything and I do.
– Mark H., ★★★★★
Z-line Dyneema® cord is composed of a white Dyneema® core with a braided polyester sheath. 1.3 mm cord is excellent for ultralight guy lines and will work with Micro Linelocs.
Dyneema® has a high strength to weight ratio and does not stretch.This line also has a lot of grip; when used as a main tarp line or bear bag line, just wrap it around a tree or branch a few times and it will hold steady without dealing with any knots.
Available in Yellow, or Black. The yellow cord is extremely bright and easy to see as guy-lines day or night. It is not reflective but it does stand out well at night with a headlamp or in moonlight. The yellow cord shows up better at night compared to orange colored cord.
50 Feet 2.0 mm Z-Line Cord
Lowered the weight to my tents, and provided a stronger system overall.
– Carmen W., ★★★★★
On rainy nights when the winds are strong, feel safe inside your dry shelter knowing your guylines are strong enough to withstand anything. Z-line Dyneema® cord is composed of a white Dyneema® core with a braided polyester sheath. Dyneema® has a high strength to weight ratio and does not stretch.
2.0 mm is the best choice for use with Lineloc V Guy Line Adjuster.

50 Feet 1.3 mm Z-Line Reflective Cord
Nice line. Didn’t stretch when it got wet. Been using this line for about a year now. No issues. Will purchase it again
– Jeff B., ★★★★★
Stop fumbling around at night with cords you can’t see. This cord has super reflective 3M Scotchlite tracers for great nighttime visibility. This cord is crafted with an abrasion and UV Resistant Polyester Jacket, and a High Tenacity Polyester Core. The result is a finished product that is strong, low stretch, UV resistant, very tangle resistant, and reflective. The 1.3mm size is better for shorter fixed length guylines.
This cord is a great partner to Micro Linelocs.
Need a non-reflective cord? Z-Line cord is a good alternative. The yellow Z-Line is brighter but not reflective.
50 Feet 2.3 mm Z-Line Reflective Cord
I have not been disappointed by the performance of the cord and will keep purchasing from this company. The cord is easily perceived at night with headlamps (reflective), is easy to untangle, retains knots well, is water repellent and lightweight. I highly recommend it for backpacking light aficionados.

1/16" Shock Cord (15 Feet)
The 1/16” shock cord was sturdy and worked well for my project. The description on the website also listed the appropriate toggle size that works with it, so no guessing. Pleased with shipping time too.
– Anita V., ★★★★★
Don't replace your old clothes because they have a worn out draw cords, replace the draw cords! 1/16" shock cord is thin and often utilized for light duty applications. We use this for stretchy draw cords on clothing and some stuff sacks. It has about the same elasticity as a typical thin rubber band.
Our Tiny Cord Locks fit well.
3/32" Shock Cord (15 Feet)
3/32” shock cord is a good size for lashing gear to backpacks, or for thicker clothing draw cords. It can also be used to replace broken elastic on tent poles.
Our Mini Cord Locks fit well.
Tiny Cord Lock (5 pack)
They are indeed tiny and they hold the yellow 1.3mm line very well.

Micro Lineloc
Great little tool. If you are not a knot guru, then these are for you. I use them regularly on my Zpacks tarp and they work well and hold their position.
– Klaus K., ★★★★★
These linelocs are the smallest and lightest available for thin guylines. They are easy to add to existing guy lines without modifying your shelter.
Micro linelocs allow you to adjust your guy lines to 50% of the original length and are are best for shorter guy lines. They will hold tight on our 1.2 mm Z-Line cord.
Our Lineloc V with loop is another great adjuster that allows you to cinch your lines down 100% and is less tangle prone.
Lineloc V Guy Line Adjuster
Got these for my tarp and they’ve been working quite well. It makes things much easier when pitching.
– Brian T., ★★★★★
These custom made linelocs will fit thinner 1 to 2.3 mm cord. They have a tighter “V” shaped groove which holds tight on thin lines. Our 1.3 mm Z-Line cord is an excellent choice.
They work well with long or short guy lines, and they are less prone to tangling compared to Micro Line Locs.
These need to be sewn on to your gear project. If you prefer to retrofit linelocs without sewing, our Line Loc V with Loop can be looped on to existing tie outs.
