550 Paracord - 30 m
Ships within 5 to 8 business days.
550 paracord is the most versatile cordage available, and this one is made in the United States. Thirty meters long, 4 mm in diameter, 249 kg breaking strength, 206 grams. Its distinctive feature is the core: seven independent strands housed in a braided sheath. By pulling out the strands from a length of cordage, you get eight distinct threads, several times the original length in fine twine, enough for sewing, lashing, or rigging a fishing line. This is why it is always worth carrying. The colors are dyed to prevent bleeding, and the nylon is resistant to UV rays and mold. Warning: this cordage is not intended for personal safety.
