p.author b{ color: #0090d4; } --> 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.

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.
