They are not thick bracelets like the paracord bracelets. They are thin with a small piece of plastic. I think they are super overpriced, but my son found them online & he wanted a couple for Christmas. Made of stretchy cord that is braided to finished braid thickness of 3/8". Not "thick". I'm not sure how he will feel when he sees them, or how they will last. So, positive that's it's a fashion bracelet teens like with artists' logos. Negative that they aren't impressive in hand.
