Atwood 550 Paracord - 100 ft

Carry the one item that solves problems you have not had yet. Paracord is the most versatile cord on the planet for a reason, and this is 100 feet of the real thing in your choice of Black, OD Green, Coyote, or Stealth Grey. Whether it lives in a pack, a vehicle, a garage, or wrapped around a handle, it is the material you reach for when something needs to be tied, lashed, hung, replaced, or improvised on the spot.Rated to a 550 pound tensile strength in a 5/32 inch diameter, this is genuine Mil-C-5040H Type III cord, Berry Compliant and made in the USA by Atwood Rope MFG. The construction is what earns the reputation. Seven inner strands sit inside the sheath, and pulling those out turns a short length into hundreds of feet of usable smaller cordage for fishing line, sewing thread, snares, or repairs.It is UV and rot resistant, the color will not run or bleed, and at 8 ounces per 100 feet it costs you almost nothing to carry. Atwood has been running quality checkpoints through the whole manufacturing process for years, and the consistency shows in cord that handles the same from one hank to the next. This is the baseline every other piece of gear leans on.Specifications Tensile Strength: 550 lb (249 kg) Length: 100 ft (30 m) Diameter: 5/32 in (4 mm) Material: 100% nylon, Mil-C-5040H Type III Core: 7 strand core Colorways: Black, OD Green, Coyote, Stealth Grey Weight: 8 oz (227 g) per 100 ft Resistance: UV and rot resistant, color will not run or bleed Origin: Berry Compliant, made in the USA m138
