I need to a shock cord replacement.
The stuff used by Helsport doesn't seem to be as high quality as other brands and has only lasted for 3 white seasons.
Is the 2mm sold by TierGear recommended or would the 3mm be better?

You can also get shock cord from boating shops and Bunningsā¦
Not sure about 2 vs 3 mm.

You might also check this person out. I have tried his (non shock) cords and have been happy with communication and the quality. Also very quick service.

There's a marked difference between TG's 2mm and 3mm bungy. Depends on what you want it to do.
TG bungy is quality stuff.

I'm selling the tent, I don't want to sell it in less than excellent condition but want to minimise my loss

Ask Simon. Reckon he'll know. I'm interested as well, as I need to replace some of mine.

And he says that 2mm is fine and good; so that's what I'll get.
