lighthound.com has a pretty good selection. rei.com should have the reflective.

the tad gear glow in the dark cord is just really small (550 paracord sized) rope. It does not have the strands inside like 550 its all one thing exept for being rope i think the stuff is great i tie it on every thing i think i will need to find quekly in a dark sistuation.

i hope this helps!

ubraidit.com is also another good source for various colors of paracord, but theirs is 650.

The GITD cord from tadgear is more like a shoestring than a rope or cord. It's very weak and can break on you if you apply too much tension. It also stretches to be very thin when tying it.

The reflective cord can be had at onestopknifeshop. It sells in 1000ft spools. Some of us went in together to buy a spool a while back.

The Type III cord is about 1.75mm thick. That's a guess based on the fact that it's slightly thicker than my 1.5mm MiniCord.
