T.W Evans Cordage SC-108-050 1/8-Inch by 50-Feet Elastic Bungee Shock Cord

Great quality product, I can't even begin to name all the uses, I've used it for guying out the bottom ( floor ) of my tent, I've used it on pillows & pillow cases to strap down to sleeping pad, for packs to cinch things down/attach to you're pack, the possibilities are endless.

Fits in ultralight tent poles and it was way easier than expected to install

I used this 1/8” shock cord to replace the worn-out elastic within my tent poles. I have a small two-person backpacking tent (Marmot Tungsten 2P). The existing elastic was much thinner, maybe 1/16”, likely for weight reduction by Marmot. I’d assume the 1/8” would work ok for larger family sized tents, but can’t confirm that. I was JUST BARELY able to make the 1/8” work. The knots, pulled as tightly as possibly, just barely fit through the poles. For a backpacking style tent I’d recommend downsizing to 1/16”. The product itself works well and has a ton of stretch in it. Recommend taking a flame to cut/frayed ends.

good product

I am using this to replace original shock cord material in an older set of tent poles. It seems well made and fits the poles perfectly. The cord is stiff enough to thread through the poles with no problem. It made for an affordable fix to some older equipment.

I bought this to repair my tent poles that no longer had any stretch in them. It works really great! Like other reviewers, I did have a bit of trouble getting the knotted end into the tube but if you tie it REALLY tight the knot slims down enough to be able to shove it into the tubing. It has a terrific amount of stretch and seems quite durable. I used it to upgrade the aging drawstring on the tent bag as well. I also found that it was the perfect size and stretchiness to replace the drawstring on one of my daypacks. My cat had ruined the nylon drawstring that was in there, I think this one will be much harder to break. I still have a LOT of this cording left to use on other gear repairs or future tent pole repairs - definitely got my moneys worth!

Perfect size and replacement for tent poles shock cord.

Replaced the failed cordage in my five-year-old Marmot Tungsten 2p tent. This cording is a bit thicker than the original Marmot cord so the end knot fits very tightly in the tent pole. Not impossible but does take some encouragement to get the end-caps threaded in. Too early to tell how the longevity of the cord will hold up but the tent's back in action.
