Yes, I will most certainly be checking around some first, and probably will try to get several reasonable colors all in one shipment so I can save on shipping.
I must say that I was searching for exactly that thing the other day, highly reflective paracord. Alas, I didn’t really find any, so I might have to go with something that is reflective and not paracord but still similar in size and behavior. Anyone have any suggestions?
If we’re lucky, I’ll find a nice color and tie some key chains that aren’t olive drab, and then maybe they’ll be bright and shiny enough to sell. I guess I’ll have to make them black and soak them in tritium, haha.
REI has 3M Triptease, that is the highly reflective stuff. It isn’t in with the climbing rope, but over with their camping gear. It is kind of thin, like a #120 cord, but it is strong. Triptease is the only reflective cord that I know of, the paracord is bright, but not reflective or glow-in-the-dark.
Hi Bridog,
Long ago Wileke and I were talking about reflective cord and I got some triptease for her, at that time some third party posted photos of some larger cord with the reflective stuff. I don’t have a copy of the post. The stuff was black with a reflective thread and seemed to be larger than the golden triptease. Good luck on the search. I thought about contacting 3M to see what they offer under their own banner. No “Round Tuit”. I am still using Kelty Triptease as accent as budget permits.
most rock climbing stores have or can get reflective cord. not cheap, but it is larger sizes. i got some from Rock and Snow in New York some time back. still have some. stuff i got is about 4mm, blue. took me a while to git round toit, but i did,
