As the title surmises, I'm looking to find the lightest line that effectively holds in Lineloc 3s.

TIA

2.3mm glowwire is the lightest I'm comfortable with if we are talking actual stake out points. Panel pull outs and such you might want to experiment with lighter. I've done my share of experimenting and settled on 2.3. But if I'm being honest it can slip at the right angle and still makes me a little nervous at times. But I haven't had any problems.

I'm curious to see what others say also.

I have some limited use with Lawson Kline's 2.3 mm Glowire in the LineLoc 3's, and they always worked for me. However, I have heard others say that over time, they can start slipping. Mine never did, but I am not using that tent any longer, so I can't say. I would suggest trying some of the 2.3 mm Glowire though, and see what you think. If not, he also sells some 3mm Glowire that is really nice.

I have sold thousands of hanks of the 2mm glowire over they years and have heard pretty much all good reports back regarding use with lineloc3's. Or as I use to label it 2.3mm but its been the same size for the last few years now..

But over the years I have seen on forums where people said it slipped.. I personally have never had an issue with it myself, as I designed the cord to work with the Lineloc 3's. The other option is my 3mm glowire. That stuff will break a lineloc before it slips.. All that said, there are lots of non reflective options out there as well that work good. If the cord your using is a bit small and you notice some slippage just back it up with a slippery half hitch and you will be good to go.. I hope this info helps.

Thanks,
Lawson

Just wanted to say that the new glo-wire is incredible. The stiffness (no tangle) and knot holding ability is the best I have used. I like the old glowire but the jacket on the new is so much tighter.
oh yeah and it definitely doesnt slip in a lineloc.
Nice Job
