LiteOutdoors Guyline & Tensioner Kit - 1.8mm Diameter - 60 or 100 feet - Ultralight Reflective Tent Cord, Lightweight Non-Slip Cord Adjusters. Camping, Hiking, Paracord

If you're looking to shed some weight and improve the pitch of your REI or other mid-priced tent, this is a great solution. The 1.8mm Dyneema line is super strong and light, but unlike many of the cheaper options here on Amazon, the cover stays intact while being knotted and un knotted. It is more stiff than something like regular nylon or paracord, but the Dyneema is very strong and the reflective surface actually works. The tensioners have to be be "hard tied" to an anchor point with a loop of line (either to your tent corners or your stakes) and then you run a line up through the tensioner and out - it is VERY easy to thread them and they hold tension extremely well. The only problem is that they are very difficult to loosen while they are under tension - you basically just have to pull your ground stakes to break the tension, THEN you can loosen the line because. This is because they lock by jamming a cam into the line when under tension and there is no external means to push the cam back out of its wedged position while the line is under tension

Light and easy to use.

Bought one, was really impressed so I bought another. Won't be my last! 1. It's strong. It's advertised to have a 460lbs breaking strength, and I believe it. Most likely your tent stake will pull out, or your anchor point will fail somehow, before this stuff breaks. Dyneema is legit. 2. It's super reflective. Every time I shine my light at the lines at night I'm always surprised by how they really pop out in the darkness. I bought a very similar guyline set from another seller, I thought it was the same stuff. Not only was it cheap feeling in comparison, but the reflectiveness was not nearly as good. That's when I came back to get another one from here. 3. The tensioners rock. I love these things. They work like Lineloc tensioners, widely used in the lightweight backpacking community. Once you figure them out, these are the easiest and fastest tensioners I've come across. Tightening or loosening is done with one hand only, and takes a fraction of a section. No exaggeration. Let me tell you, when you watch your gf on her own walk around the tarp to casually check and adjust the tension on the lines, it's... kind of a beautiful thing. Sure, they're plastic, they can break, they can fail. So it's always good to know some knots to save the day if one does get stepped on and crack. But I'm convinced these are among the best out there. 4. Less tangles. Some cord is more prone to tangles depending on the material and how it's made. I've found this cord is really easy to work with, both tying and untying knots, and it seems to have great tangle resistance. Pretty cool, something I never really understood till now. It's expensive because Dyneema isn't cheap. But if you're looking for quality line and tensioners, you found it.

The cord is quite light, quite visible, and has been strong enough. The sliders are different than what I’m used to, but were easy enough to figure out how to install. They are easy to tighten and have been quite secure. However, at a certain tightness they jam and cannot be loosened. I can pull a stake out of the ground, but after getting a one into hard, rock strewn ground, I shouldn’t have to do that.

Comparable to, maybe even better than Kelty Triptease. This is super strong stuff; barely cuts with a cable cutter; it's actually a pain in the butt to splice it but in my book that's a good thing. It's ultralight and packs down to nothing. The reflective sleeve is bright and effective; it has not frayed under binding. The line tensioners it ships with are a great addition to a tarp or tent if you want to install permanent hardware onto it - no complaints there. If I had to make one complaint, it's that there is only one color offered or that you can't order more of this line without getting more line tensioners with it. I'm about to order it a fourth time for another backpacking tarp project. This is now my go-to material for camping guylines and ridge-lines.

Product as described. It's thin, light, strong, and easy to work with. The tensioners work well once you figure them out.

This line is very thin and light taking up very little space in my pack. Even though it is very thin, the outer layer allowed me to easily tie and untie every knot that I use regularly with out issues. It was more than strong enough for holding tarps in the rain and wind. There was no perceivable stretch when used to hang the wet clothes of 4 people when stretched over a ~40 foot span, even the prussic knot used to apply the initial tension held in place while the heavy wet clothes dried (and swung/bounced) in the wind.

Nice rope and tensioners. . The rope is VERY lightweight and small diameter - had me worried at first, but it works very well and is strong. I'm keeping this in the truck to tie items down in the bed because the tensioners make it so easy. I wouldn't use it for extremely heavy objects, but it's great for an all around kit. I've also cut smaller lengths off and used around the house.

This cord is genuine Dyneema / Spectra UHMWPE para-cord, 1.8 mm thick with a 200 Kg min. breaking strain, suitable for very lightweight technical tents in extreme conditions (or anyone else who likes lightweight, strong kit). It’s supplied from a Canadian outdoor co. remarkably, Post-free from N. America, even without Prime & only took 8 days to arrive by DPD. I bought this pack because the sliders / adjusters with it are sized to suit the thin cord, 1.8 mm being the second-thinnest available after the min. 1.5 mm (you can get 3 & 4 mm from other sources but …. WHY ?)? There’s 18.5 metres, 60 ft. The cord & adjusters are the same as supplied with my Canadian Durston X-Mid 2P lightweight backpacking trekking-pole tent, but the was supplied with the minimal 4 guy cords & the supplied cord is black. So I’m adding 4 extra guys, these are bright reflective - I may in fact replace the existing ones also for visibility reasons if I’m using it on a campsite rather than on the fellside. Looks great - not tested yet - Canadian stuff tends to be engineered to a high spec. even if actually made in China, Taiwan or Vietnam. I have absolute faith in it & it’s worth the $27:50 US (£UK £21:50) & no import-duty payable.

Cord is excellent and easy to work with. Tensioners also work very and are convenient.

Einfach gute Qualität!

Overall I was quite impressed with this package. This is indeed 1.8mm line, I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about. It also appears to be dyneema as the core expands when heated, similar to other dyneema lines that I've used. Very strong, absolutely zero stretch. Handles very well, easy to tie knots with little slippage, and a good flexibility, but still slightly stiff. The reflective weave in the sheath is functional, but not bright. More important to me though, is that it doesn't hamper the "feel" and flex of the rope, as I have experienced with other reflective cords (*cough* Niteize *cough*). The line-locks work very well, though I can't say I've tested their strength limits, or durability. They certainly seem to lock the line in place, and are very simple to adjust. The plastic feels tough.

Light weight, don’t slip and strong. The cord works well in short lengths on my hooped bivvy but is prone to kinking and tying themselves itself in knots in longer lengths. Probably not the easiest cord to use if you don’t want to save weight and just need some general guy lines.
