Bungee cord, unstretched and stretched. The length more than doubles.

A rope/cord made with elesticated cores instead of high strength cores, resulting in a cord that can usually stretch to double its natural length. This is sometimes used to make arm bands to attach tools to via tethers, or can be used to make a chest harness, but is also an essential part of a floating cam and any prusiking system that uses it, such as rope walking and the another prusiking system.
