Onewind tarp and tent cordage is made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (HMWPE), one of the strongest fibres for its weight. It is extremely strong and light, with high abrasion resistance and low stretch.
It floats and absorbs almost no water, so it will not sag when wet, and it is far less bulky than nylon or polyester cord.
