We use white and blue 2.8mm UHMWPE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) core guy line on all our ultralight shelters. This tough guy line has a polyester sheath that’s 30% lighter than nylon and is hydrophobic, meaning it won't absorb water.

Fantastic Cord
I use this cord for general purpose camping applications. It is super strong yet very light. It's great for securing tarps.

Bears don't like it
It’s lightweight In your pack all day it doesn’t absorb water and it’s easy to do and undo the knots with this cord. One things for sure if it makes hanging your food bag easier bears don’t like it.

Good gear, ridiculous handling fees at the border
Dear fellow Canucks:
Hyperlite products - great. Shipping and BORDER (FEDEX) fees - make the great Hyperlite products NOT WORTH ordering ONLINE.
Example: 2.8 UHMWPE core guy line ($20 USD). Shipping ($33.51). I thought this was high, but ok, maybe they charge a standard rate for any product.
AND THEN…..I got the bill from FEDEX. $33 COD for delivery!!!! Insane. Over $60 !!! to buy a $20 rope.
Canadians: use Amazon, or an American retail store like REI, etc. I spend so much in shipping and customs, I have no money to buy any more products from the home website. Sorry Hyperlite - this was a ridiculous turn-off from a new customer. Could not recommend.

Great strength to wt ratio
Strong Line
This line is versatile, strong and probably over kill for my flat tarp setup. However, I like to have this extra line on hand when I’m not backpacking with poles.
Hammock hang
I bought this to hang my hammock and it works great. Light weight, but strong enough to hold.
