ZJchao 9 Strand 550 Luminous Glow in The Dark Paracord Parachute Cord

I was impressed with the glow after leaving it in the sun for 15 minutes. Without direct sunlight it does not glow well.

I have to say, I read a handful of reviews and, one in particular that I noticed mentioned that the "loose inner core" makes it useless for paracord projects, or something along those lines. That seems to me something the person could easily remedy this when cutting the paracord,(something which I do myself, because I have noticed when ordering these glow-in-the-dark paracord products, is many times the outer casing and inner core have slightly different lengths),what I do is cut and melt one end with a lighter (a torch lighter works best, while also being cautious to not drip the fiery napalm that results onto yourself or anything of importance), then while measuring the desired length of paracord firmly run the paracord through your hand/fingers (avoiding rope burn) to readjust the lengths of both the core and casing to be equal. I use this paracord for all my camping supplies so I can find my items in thr dark, this includes the line for my mosquito net on my hammock, the zippers on my sleeping bag, tent, various duffel bags, hammock (extra long and braided with reflective and glow-in-the-dark paracord). I even recently I used the "white" paracord as my shoelaces on all of my Converse after first using the "green" out of sheer convenience and desperation one day, after busting a lace while about to head out the door, but came to realize it is pretty sweet to be able to find your shoes in the dark. I have to say I genuinely love this stuff, it helps a lot for camping gear and also looks pretty wicked under a blacklight, just sayin'. I would definitely recommend this stuff, and have to friends and people I do field work with. Be creative with how you use it, I even use it on latches on fences. I added some safety reminders in parentheses because common sense sends to be lacking in this era and the whiny review about something easily fixed is something that irritates me.

Exact product as described

Please excuse my tardiness in reviewing my Amazon purchase of this GLO-IN-THE-DARK PARACORD. This is & was an awesome purchase and I already have ideas from working with other glow products in the past that might really make it SHINE. I really appreciate the complete and accurate description which led me to not having to contact the seller or ask any further questions. I am VERY thankful for the excellent packaging because even though you really can't do much damage to paracord, it still was a great & safe package to receive. I am a glow addict, so I am hooked and will be back to try the other colors and how they show off. So with all that said, I look forward to doing business again with the seller of ZJCHAO. Wishing you the very best and continued success. PS-Although I doubt that I will take this cord with me when I go on one of the survival shows on tv, you can still keep an eye out for me. I am the lady who has glow stuff on way too many items, but after running my flash lights on everything, I will be the lady that is glowing. With Peace & Thanks, M

Recently getting into paracord knotting, wrapping, braiding, etc. I purchased this more or less on a whim. I've used gitd rope before and mostly been disappointed by the amount of light given off by the rope. More often than not it was solely a gimmick and I never really found a good use for it. (Tent lines being the intended use). I was happily surprised to find that this gitd paracord performs pretty well and glows brightly for a decent amount of time (roughly 4 hours of enough illumination to be of use in my opinion). One thing I noticed was that unlike many gitd products, this paracord does not luminesce well under black light. It does however "charge" nicely with it. I only mention this as one of my intended usage scenarios includes a UV flashlight for locating items in the dark and I found it to be less useful for this than say a gitd sticker of my daughter's. This said, I'm still quite happy with the product and would purchase again. It's all about choosing one's solutions for tasks well.

The color is totally different from the picture. I included my own picture of the product next to a pink hydragear water bottle. I am a lover of pink and this ain’t it. Got this to thread through chain for a chew-proof seatbelt for my dog, I will still have to use this but I will be looking for better pink paradors in the future. I will update with quality results after I’ve used it for a while.

The photo is not deceiving in showing how much this glows. When placed near my window on a cloudy day these still glowed intensely when placed in the dark. However they did not glow intensely for more than three hours. I'm guessing that the duration of the glow is somewhat proportionate to the intensity/duration of the light that they are exposed to. I have not tested the strength of this though I did notice that the center strands are different than traditional para cord and do not stay close to the outer core. It was important to melt it promptly after cutting it in any location so that the inner strands did not leak far out. Occasionally after melting only slightly less than overdone and burnt, the inner strands would push their way out. Four stars because the inner strands came out so easily.

This isn't the military grade paracord but that's not why you would buy it, its for crafts and decoration. But remember that this is glow in the dark, add 10ft of this to a project and/or keep it with your gear. That 10ft shows a lot better than your military grade and can lead some one to you. Its just for fun it can be used for safety, but most will never know that use. Also this is an abnormal color for the woods and will be picked up easy for leaving a trail for others to follow, tie some to trees as you pass and it will get noticed. All in all I didn't find any defects in the line I got but it isn't that high grade paracord that you will go nuts over, take it as it is a fun item to enjoy and find uses for.

Gl9ws well good quality

Excellent quality ,supper strong

It glows, but get a blacklight flashlight. The glow goes away pretty quickly but if you have a blacklight you can charge it back up at nighttime. Don't expect it to be as bright as LED lights.

It took some time to get here but still within the estimated time I'm just used to things coming earlier than estimated so I've been spoiled. It works great for tents to see at night. They charge like anything glow in the dark as time goes on it gets less noticeable. But they charge in the sun thought it was cool when I went to bed and could see when not to trip on. I am planning on buying more for next year's camping trips. And changing out anything else needing to be see when tired. Great product very happy with it.

Durée de luminescence très très courte.
