What is a Shock Cord?
A shock cord is a round braided elastic cord that stretches under load before returning to its original size once tension is released. This excellent recovery helps absorb movement while protecting equipment from unnecessary strain.
Its durable polyester outer braid protects the internal latex rubber strands, making it suitable for demanding outdoor environments where a flexible yet strong cord is required.
