In my experience it's breaking point is well above its rated load. Just make sure you use the right knot, the "palomar knot" is recommended for braids.
For strength we ended up buying this:

Rated tensile strength of 400lb and very flexible. Might not be great for visibility unless you layer it, but it is going to be very tough to break.
