Coghlan'sReplacement Shock Cord Kit, Durable Elastic Bungee Cord for Tent Pole Repair, Stretchable 0.09 Inches Diameter, 18 Ft Length for Camping, Hiking, and Outdoor Gear Maintenance

Perfect length and thickness for replacing the cord in my Nemo Hornet 2p tent. Not much more cord than that, though, so if you know you have a complex pole setup you may want a longer length. Otherwise, it's lightweight, seems to be very similar to the original manufacturer cord, shipped quickly and was well priced. Only took about 15 mins to do the replacement. I'm happy!

I needed to packs for my REI Half Dome 2. Our shock cords were completely stretched out and dull. This worked perfectly!

Used to repair REI tent poles. Worked perfectly

I used this shock cord to replace the cord in 2 Big Agnes tents. The cord in both tents wore out in about a year so while the Big Agnes replacement cord was about the same price, I thought I should try something else.This cord seemed to do the trick. Good balance of strength versus elasticity.I would have given it 5 stars but the value could be a bit better for what it is. It’s also such a waste that they include a useless plastic spool in the package and don’t even wrap the cord on it correctly when they package it. A slight annoyance but otherwise, I good with the purchase.Took about an hour to re-string 2 tents. Check out YouTube if you need some tips. There’s a few good videos for this.

I used this cord to replace the cord that snapped inside of a very long tent pole. I own a Coleman Vela Tent that is in very good shape, so getting a whole new tent would have been such a waste of money.One of the two main tent poles had the cord snap, and I needed a long enough cord to replace a tent pole that was about 22 feet in length. I first looked on the Coleman website for an exact replacement kit for this particular tent, only to find that they discontinued the kits. But, they still showed the descriptions of the kits, which informed me how much shock cord I needed: 16 feet. This kit is 18 feet, so it worked very well for my application. Other kits, like the ones you can buy in stores only are, at the most, 10 feet.I started by tying off one end with a few loop knots and stringed it through the first pole. I was able to string the 18 feet of cord through the poles until about the last three sections, where I pulled on it to get as much length as I needed to finish the last three sections, then I had to put my foot on the cord to keep it snapping back into the poles. Once done with the last three sections, I tied it off at the end, making a few loop knots on top of each other. I was able to string it without the need for one of the wires included in other kits. Of course, you should use washers at each end as I did, and thankfully I had some leftover from a different tent pole repair kit I bought for a different tent. If you still have your original washers, you can use those.The shock cord looks almost identical to the original, in respects to size and strength. Overall, it got the job done for me and saved me from having to purchase a new tent.

I purchased this cord for my REI half dome 2+ tent. I’ve had the tent for 7 years and the cord inside the poles was so stretched out they weren’t snapping together anymore. I actually cut one of the tent pole cords when an after-dark setup was taking too long, but that meant I needed to fix the pole before my next trip.I found a great video on YouTube for restringing the tent pole cords and they recommending this brand. I purchased two packs to ensure I had enough to work with and only used 75% of the cord. The last quarter is packed away with my tent in case I need it for emergency repairs on a trip. Straightforward product, great price, easy to work with. Highly recommend to anyone in the same predicament. It took less than an hour to restring the entire tent. $7ish of cord is way better than hundreds on a new tent.

It’s very reasonable price shock cord.

I bought two packages to replace the shock cord in my REI Co-op Half Dome 2+ tent that I purchased about 8 years ago. Had about 10 feet left over when I was done. There is a YouTube video showing how to do it with my exact tent model and it was very easy. Took me about one hour to do.
