Product Overview
A length of utility cord can earn its place in a field pack without taking on a complicated role: tying down loose gear, setting up a campsite or making a replacement pull for a zipper. Rothco 550lb Type III Nylon Camo Paracord brings a seven-strand core and 100% nylon construction to those everyday outdoor tasks, with patterned finishes that also work well for custom cord projects.
Seven-strand construction for utility and crafting
This paracord has a 550 lb test strength and measures 5/32 inch in diameter. Its nylon outer sheath contains seven core strands, giving you a cord that can be used whole for tying and weaving or separated when a project calls for finer strands. For bracelets, lanyards and other woven accessories, the diameter is a useful detail to consider when choosing a pattern or checking the fit of your own beads and hardware.
For airsoft players, a length kept with field accessories can be useful for organizing equipment between games or making identifiable pulls and lanyards. Around camp, it serves as general-purpose cord for tasks such as hanging small items or securing a rolled bundle. Choose the length to suit your plans, especially if you expect to cut several pieces for separate projects.
