 Works, but there is better availableJun 02, 2010
By JT
Kelty triptease lightline cord is gold in color, about 3/32" diam., and is labeled as 1 oz for 50 feet, braided nylon, labeled with 188 pound break strength (didn't test), with lifetime warranty, contains a single reflective thread sewn in a X pattern, 4 Xs per inch of cord. Reflectivity with a flashlight is okay and functional. Note that the Viper Equinox is much better for reflectivity.
Viper Equinox is a competitor sold by Campmor and others at much lower price than Kelty. It is also gold color, a little larger at 1/8" diam., has 3M reflective thread with 2 threads per X pattern, 4 Xs per 1.5 inches of cord. It is also braided nylon, model ELW401. It is about twice as reflective as Kelty. Also sold in 50 foot pieces.
Another option is REI's blue,green, and white cord, that is braided, 1/8" diameter, single reflective cord sewn in a spiral dash with about 4 lines per 1.25 inch of cord. It has about the same reflectivity as the Kelty cord, but it also adds a glow in the dark feature that actually works for several minutes after a flashlight hits it. The glow in the dark white cords are a series of 4 threads together with 3 of the sets per inch of cord. Basically, the glow cords are about 75% of what you see on a cross section and the reflective cords are about 5%. This cord is about the same cost as Kelty. One additional advantage is that it is sold by the foot, so you can get a small piece or a really long piece.

 Reflective lanyard ropeFeb 06, 2011
By Adam
My use for this is reflective lanyards for small gear items in a backpack or Bug out bag. Anything you may need to search for in low light situations, just tie a 8" piece of Kelty LightLine and it'll be 10x easier to find. Highly recommend for campers/survivalists.

 Works pretty good.Jan 09, 2007

It's not like "laser beams" in the dark but does reflect enough light to make it more visible. It has prevented at least one tripping incident during a recent camping trip.

Great for lanyardsJun 03, 2011
By tpthatsme
I used to use parachute cord for my lanyards, but not any more. This cord is the perfect replacement with its smaller diameter it will fit in smaller gadgets and zippers on stuff that seems to fall to the ground in the dark of night. On swipe of the flashlight finds all my gear. However, if covert operation is you game, this cord is no for you.

Perfect for reflective lanyards and guy linesDec 19, 2011
By flyboynyc

The smaller diameter of Kelty Triptease Lightline makes it perfect for creating reflective lanyards for almost all of my equipment. I've attached it to my Swiss Army knives, created zipper pulls with it, and of course I've used it as reflective guy line on my tent.
As a reflective guy line, it shines brightly with a headlamp or flashlight, and I had no problem seeing it at night. In nighttime pictures of our campsite, the Kelty Triptease Lightline blazed brightly in the camera's flash, and the gold color is easy to see during the day as well (even more so than the green reflective cord from another manufacturer that I also use as guy lines on my tents). I use this in conjunction with Nite Ize small Figure 9 and Nite Ize KnotBone when I'm staking out my tent, and both products work just fine with the Kelty cord.
