The old adage still rings true, "You get what you pay for". In this day and age of instant fulfillment and on-line competition, we're tempted to think otherwise. Many will notice how many items are identical, yet sold under various names and at differing prices... that's often a clue for poor specs, likely poor quality, and generally poor value, despite the low price. Titan's products are clearly more expensive than the consumer/commodity grade resellers of low value equivalents, but are also clearly better specified, of far better quality unit-to-unit, and represent a sound, good value for your money. How often do you read about "seller problems" from those consumer/commodity/same-item-many-seller items? Titan takes care with fulfillment, and follows up for satisfaction. In my mind, being able to be confident the product I'm seeking is solid in specs, spot-on in quality, and while pricey will give me the value I want is worth paying more.
This is tough, durable 7-filament-twisted-strand (one a marker strand) paracord with good strength specs and performance that exceeds expectations. Beyond that, the paracord comes with a velcro buckle-strap, that alone worth a buck in versatile value. Colors aren't as numerous as those sold by companies whose market is crafting, but are adequate in number for outdoors purposes. If you want paracord for strong, outdoor use, this is the real deal on the plus side; if you want cord only for crafting, you might prefer other sellers for their wide range of colors and far less 'stiff/strong' cord that will be far easier to manipulate.
Although this is a review of their standard paracord, it's important to point out that Titan also makes a "SurvivorCord" that contains, in addition to their 7-twisted-strands, a 25lb monofilament line, a strand of fine gauge brass wire, and a strand of waxed Jute fiber. This is even more expensive cord, but allows the outdoors person to carry one hank for multiple purposes, replacing items that may previously have been brought along just for "what if" purposes.
