Description

Everlasto Lastoflex 4mm Bungee Cord & Shock Cord

High-quality 4mm Everlasto Lastoflex Bungee Cord, a versatile elastic shock cord suitable for a wide range of camping, outdoor, leisure, textile and general fastening applications.

Made with a smooth, tough braided polypropylene outer and natural rubber elastic core, Lastoflex combines excellent flexibility and stretch with a durable protective covering. The polypropylene braid is UV stabilised, water resistant, abrasion resistant and hard-wearing, making this 4mm bungee cord suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Versatile 4mm Bungee Cord for Outdoor, Leisure & Everyday Use

At 4mm diameter, Lastoflex provides a useful balance between flexibility, strength and compact size. It offers more substance than fine 2mm and 3mm shock cord while remaining lightweight, flexible and easy to handle.

Popular uses for 4mm bungee cord include:

• Camping equipment and tent applications
• Backpacking, hiking and outdoor equipment
• Kayaking and leisure equipment
• Bikes and cycling accessories
• Clothing and textile applications
• Bags, rucksacks and luggage
• Lightweight covers and tarpaulins
• Banners and marquees
• Elastic retaining loops
• Equipment repairs and replacement elastic
• Craft and DIY projects
• General elastic fastening

The 4mm diameter is particularly useful where a relatively compact elastic cord is required but finer 2mm or 3mm cord would not provide enough substance for the application.

Durable Polypropylene Outer & Natural Rubber Core

At the heart of Lastoflex is a natural rubber elastic core, providing the stretch and recovery expected from a quality bungee cord or shock cord.

The elastic core is protected by a smooth braided polypropylene outer covering, helping protect it from abrasion and everyday wear while providing a neat, durable finish. The outer braid is also UV stabilised and water resistant for use in many outdoor environments.

Choosing the Right Bungee Cord Diameter

For finer component applications, a smaller diameter may be more appropriate. For applications requiring greater strength, tension or a more substantial elastic cord, larger Lastoflex diameters are also available.

Should I choose 4mm or a thicker bungee cord?

4mm is a useful general-purpose size for relatively lightweight applications. If greater strength, tension or a more substantial elastic cord is required, consider one of the larger Lastoflex diameters. The appropriate diameter will depend on the particular application.
