Tie Out Shock Cord Size

[sideshowraheem]

Hello all, I just recently purchased a double layer Gen 2 XLC to replace my older gen 1 XLC. I got it used, and unfortunately it seemed to be missing the white shock cord that goes over the black cordage attached to the mitten clips that tie out the bug net and shelf.

Its not a huge deal, I figured I'd just buy some extra shock cord and clips and replace them myself. But I dont know what size shock cord typically got used, or if it even matters all that much really. I just dont want to go to lite and break it or have it come flying back at my face one day. Anyone here know what size would work as a replacement?

i think it's 1/8" ("normal size")

I just compared the shock cord of my XLC to the shock cord sizes Dutch sells, and the strength it's closest to is the 3/32". 1/8" is overkill in my opinion.

Thanks to both of you. Ordered some clips and cord and can get them added soon.
