Great Product, Great PriceSeptember 5, 2010 USWoodsman I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for the real, high quality 550lb paracord. It's the good 7 inner strand cord, has probably 1 million uses, and you can never have too much of it really. Make a hatband, belt, bracelet, watchband, knife/tool lanyard etc... so you'll never be without it in an emergency. You never know when you might need it.
Good 7-strand ParacordSeptember 4, 2010 Dormody(New Hampshire) Title says it all. It is real 550 with 7 strands. Good stuff to have around
Good Stuff, But Not All Created EqualAugust 31, 2010 Jason(Cincinnati, OH USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Rothco 550 Type III Paracord IS good stuff but it is not the top shelf paracord. I beleieve that it may be mil spec but probably not to todays mil spec paracord standards, but it is still a 7 strand core paracord that is good quality. I have not done any tensile strength test to this stuff before, but im sure it would be more than strong enough for what most people are going to use it for, but heres the not so concerning caveat, I have noticed there are differences between the different colors of cord. I just recently ordered some in desert tan and i noticed the sheath was a little looser than that on the black, also the black seemed to be a tighter more stiffer cord than that of the tan, but with that said they are both good quality cordage. My theory behind the differences is that rothco does not manufacture the the cord themselves but has subsidary manufacture's IE: different colors, different manufactures. All in all good cord definitely survival worthy.
TJLAugust 28, 2010 T. J. Loeb After having purchased cheap Chinese made knock-offs of Para Cord being sold elsewhere as real 550 I was leery about buying this. But knowing Amazon's super return policy I gave it a try.
The product arrived on-time and was just as described. Real US Mil-Spec cord. And with Amazon Prime shipping the price cannot be beat.
If you have never used Para Cord you will wonder how you have lived without it. Like Duct Tape it is an indispensable product to have at hand. Wrap knife handles, make key chains, lanyards, emergency tow ropes, etc.
Wonderful stuff and made in the USA!
Exactly as describedAugust 14, 2010 erowe3 Strong paracord rated at 550lbs does exactly what is advertised. I used mine to wrap around a survival knife.
