With a proven track record dating back to WW2, paracord has made a well-deserved name for itself as being one of the best cords ever made. How you need it, where you need it and when you need it.
The Paracord we supply is superior in quality and consistency. The companies we use maintain a strict quality assurance policy with intravenous QA checkpoints throughout the manufacturing process. They take great pride and honour in manufacturing and delivering some of the highest quality Paracord and products around the world that can be trusted and relied on every day. If you would like to inspect the cord before buying simply email us and we will send you some samples.
Buy the real thing! Length: 50 Feet 15m Feet 30m Feet Reel m. That means that in 80 years, we have still not found a better fabric that is as low-cost to produce as Nylon. After an hour of scouring the internet, I was unable to determine if parachute suspension lines were still made of something resembling paracord.
If anyone is an expert on the topic, let us know in the comments down below! Either way, paracord has played an important role in the history of the U.
Military and beyond. Click the spoiler to see what he has to say:. It is constructed of a woven tubular nylon sheath surrounding 7 to 9 3-ply core yarns. Originally used as the suspension line for both military and civilian parachutes, it is now used in everything from watchbands to bracelets to key chains. It is, however, not used in any modern parachute.
There are two primary reasons for this:. Bulk — cord is quite bulky compared more modern suspension line, which is typically flat or round braided Dacron or vectran. The outer sheath of cord, itself having a tensile strength of pounds, is designed to provide abrasion resistance, necessary in rugged military applications.
This heavy sheath is not deemed necessary in the civilian market where more modern methods like chemical treatments provide abrasion resistance. The core and sheath construction of cord increases that elasticity.
This is a good thing in traditional round parachute assemblies where elasticity reduces stress and increases strength. Trim is critical in a ram air parachute. This requires suspension lines of very precise lengths. Modern parachute suspension line is typically made of Dacron, vectran or other highly inelastic synthetic fibers.
Can I write an article on paracord and not mention the classic survival bracelet? The look of the "cobra" weave is easily recognizable and has been the iconic look of paracord for years.
While it is a very practical way of storing a large amount of paracord for survival situations, I find them to be a bit too bulky to wear them on an everyday basis. One way to get around that problem would be to make them out of a smaller type of paracord.
The "lesser" types, while having slightly lighter breaking points, are still a highly useful survival tool. Another option would be to make a belt—a project I have yet to take on. Our community has been sending in some amazing images of their own creations. You are constantly inspiring us to push ourselves to greater creativity. We wouldn't be able to do what we love, without you doing what you love. Maybe you scrolled through all that mumbo jumbo and still don't really understand what all the fuss is about.
Paracord by the spool allows you to get just the right amount of length you need for your projects. Cut to your desired length and stop dealing with the scraps that are not useful. Love the quality of the cord that is made in America! Good solid cord, came in faster than I expected, and at a great price. Excellent products for handcrafting lots of projects.
Every spool purchased is great. No complaints.
