Why We Like The MSR Shock Cord Replacement Kit
No matter how well we take care of our gear, the shock cord in our tent poles starts to fail over time. With the MSR Shock Cord Replacement Kit we can re-thread our tent poles and restore the life of our favorite tent. The 3.5mm silicone-core shock cord lasts way longer than natural rubber and even stays elastic all the way down to -40F.

Worked perfectly - tent has
Worked perfectly - tent has held up fine with repeated use after I replaced the shock cords. The online how-to video was a great help doing this the first time.

shock cord
exactly as expected. Worked great. The instructions for calculating length were confusing. Multiply needed length by 0.74 instead. The video says use length of old cord but old cord is usually stretched and no longer elastic - hence the need for replacement.

Thought my awesome tent was
Thought my awesome tent was ruined. Found this product with instructions and repaired better than new in 30 minutes. Always check poles before going out and possibly carry extra cord. Happy camping.

It streches out, it comes back together - exactly how one would expect.
This shock cord did exactly what it was advertised to do. It was plenty of cord to re-do my entire Hubba Hubba NX tent with a bunch left over. 10/10, would buy again (in 10 years when this stuff wears out).

shock cord too big for my hubba bubba tent
I watched the instruction video over and over and found it unuseful and DIFFICULT to replace the shock cord. I never did get the replacement done and am now going to look for a replacement cord that is smaller in dynamiter.

Great service, advice, and instructions!
Service and advice were perfect. The instructions were super easy to follow. We needed the cord due to damage to the tent, poles, and cords in a massive windstorm. The folks here saved us a ton of money by telling us there was no need to replace everything as the repairs were easy. Many thanks.

New life into an old pole.
I've re-threaded a number of poles. This kit made it as easy as it could be. It comes with a plastic clamp to hold the end.
