I believe I saw it at One Stop Knife Shop. It's listed as 550 Industries Reflective Commercial 550 Parachute Cord toward the bottom. I haven't ordered it as of yet, so I'm not sure what the quality is.

I use OD only because it is what I can get locally. If I could get proper paracord in blaze, or better yet, nuclear/mountain dew/anti freeze green, without paying an arm and leg for it then waiting a week, I would use that across all my kits. All I can get around here that ISN'T green, black or tan is 450 line, and for the lack of difference in weight, bulk and price, I want the extra hundred pounds.
Now, IMHO perfect would be a 550 line with the shroud made from the same stuff as Triptease line.

Nifty! I want to use it for improvised antenna mast guy lines. Visibility there helps keep people from clotheslining themselves in the dark. If I could, I'd get it with both reflective and glow in the dark threads.

You could always tie small glow-in-the-dark flags every few feet. I'm imagining something like glow-in-the-dark flagging tape, or something similar.

for the lovers of high vis orange, neon yellow and neon pink are way more visible.
Yeah, but neon yellow blends in too much with autumn leaves, and neon pink intitiates my gag reflex. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I like it! I'll have to keep my eyes open for some. I have some red flagging that has "reflective" patches on it, but it's not very bright red or reflective.
