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 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.

It held up perfectly through the Sierra, and I loved how easily it slipped through carabiners and over branches without fraying. Even after weeks of use in wet conditions, it's still smooth and hasn't lost any strength.

After wrestling with braided and woven options, this slick cord is the first that

Richard B. ★★★★★

Used this for bear bag hangs on my last section hike and it slid through the branch way easier than the braided cord I'd been using. The 1.2 mm width holds a knot fine but still glides when you need it to.
