Description

Tent poles that have gone floppy and fall apart as you pitch, a jacket hem drawcord that has lost its snap, the bungee lacing on your pack that sags when you stuff a jacket under it: Gear Aid Elastic Shock Cord brings the stretch back. You get 213 cm of 3 mm black cord, enough to restring, re-lace or rig whatever has gone slack.

What it fixes

  • Stretched or snapped shock cord inside tent poles
  • Worn drawcords on jackets and packs
  • Bungee lacing and tie-downs for strapping gear to a pack
  • Tensioning tarp and hammock lines

The cord is made from synthetic rubber and polyester. It is firm enough to push through a sewn fabric channel without bunching, which makes re-threading a hood or hem drawcord far less fiddly.

How to use it

  1. Pull out the old, slack cord, keeping any cord locks or toggles to reuse.
  2. Feed the new shock cord through the channel or eyelets.
  3. Set the tension you want, then tie off the ends or fit a cord lock and trim the excess.

Pair it with Gear Aid's tent and tarp line locks and you can adjust tarp and guy lines without tying knots.
