Smaller cords can be used in a wide range of applications from tie-down straps to braided braclets and any other non-life-safety applications. Larger cords have a very durable sheath and high MBS which makes them great for prusik cords, cordelettes, ice threads, and lightweight low-stretch fixing and hauling "tag" lines, but can also be used in non-life safety applications such as dog leashes, towlines, or even as decorative trim and cover.
