Its Amazon description does this rope a solid, advertising the product’s best qualities such as: reflective surface, sturdy polypropylene construction, and 50ft x 3/16 inch measurements. “Perfect for holding items, guying out tents, tarps and shelters when traveling, camping or biking.” Oh, and you can charge it in direct sunlight to make it extra glowing during the night.

Besides, the rope is versatile and can be used for more than just tents. “Designed for outdoor recreation, this line is great for emergency applications, hiking, backpacking, camping, fishing, hunting and traveling”. The material that the rope is made out of, polypropylene, is also the lightest all-purpose rope material and because of that, it floats.
