That looks like the 2200# Kevlar I got from Fruity Chutes. It cost a little more than others but it's light and packs well. https://fruitychutes.com/buyachute/shock-cords-c-5/kevlar-shock-cord-14-in-2200-p-207.html?zenid=cPwVg76PKbS1EWkDsDbyC1

I like that size. I bought some years ago but don't think I got it from one bad hawk. The stuff wildman sells is a little heavier & takes up too much space.

The stuff Wildman carries is probably my least favorite. Missileworks used to carry a very tight weave kevlar that I love. It's was sold as 1/4" but is actually much smaller and looks more tubular, like a boot lace, than the others. I should have bought more of it when I had a chance because Jim says he can't get any more. The new 1/4 stuff he carries now looks more like what Freddy has but I don't have any to do a real comparison.

Here's the 3 different kinds if 1/4" Kevlar I have tried for reference in order from left to right (Wildman, Old Missileworks and Fruity Chutes). Notice the big size difference, only the Wildman stuff is actually 1/4".
