Paracord Planet 550 Paracord 100 Ft Hanks (30 Meters) - 7 Strand 4mm Tactical Parachute Rope - Multiple Color Options

I'm going to be honest here. I've never compared paracord before because I've never used it very much outside of camping as a kid. I got this paracord specifically to use as bowstring and it did its job satisfactorily. It seems to be of good quality. The color is as vibrant as in the picture, and it came packaged in a plastic bag. I decided to go for something brightly colored and I am definitely glad that I did, though initially I did wonder if the quality would be less because of that. It wasn't; despite its cotton candy appearance, it's seriously durable. It's been dragged through the dirt and doesn't retain much, and what it does cleans up nicely--that was another concern of mine when ordering a bright color. I'll be finding excuses to use it for quite some time and am even considering ordering more in different colors.Bottom line? This was the best deal I could find for what I was looking for and I haven't found anything to complain about.

Very nice craft cord. Do be aware that this is NOT true military specification paracord; rather, it's an acceptable commercial craft product. Paracord Planet was very prompt and courteous in responding about this question, stating that "The 550 Type III Milspec paracord that you purchased is our standard commercial 550 paracord. If you were looking for the heavy duty military grade, I would recommend our Mil-C-5040- paracord...." (It would sure be nice for us customers if the term 'milspec' wasn't used so loosely.)Unless you need this for load-bearing functionality, this cord is fine for crafts and household use. It's also a great price and the color options are terrific. Just know what you are buying. For true military spec heavy-duty cord, I highly recommend Titan Paracord. Otherwise, save a buck and buy from Paracord Planet.

you can really tell the quality of a paracord with how the inner strands interact with the outer shell. If the quality is poor, the outer sleeve will adjust freely and slide up and down leaving the inner strands to be exposed. also the inner strands and outer sleeve, when burnt, determine another aspect of quality. I recently got some cheap paracord thinking I would experience better quality at a fraction of the cost...nope. The cheaper paracord burns the outer sleeve so quickly that the inner sleeve never bonds with the outer sleeve. Its a mess.This paracord is top notch. The outer sleeve hugs the inner strands tightly and both burn together very nicely. I never worry about the ends or the stability of the rope. I would definitely recommend this paracord to everyone, above other brands.

This para cord is high quality. I only noticed it because I bought some cheap China para cord from a local hardware store and compared them. This para cord has a more hard/rough outer sheath than the cheap china stuff, and feels higher quality all around. The cheaper china cord has a smoother and cheaper feel to it. This could be a con for some people so buy accordingly. You are also supporting USA products when buying this, so a HUGE plus! I would recommend this over cheaper cord since the cheaper cord became soft in less than a day. This seems to be holding up OK so far.

I purchased this cord to use with various craft projects, to basically use it like a draw string. It is so much nicer than trying to make a drawstring out of fabric which is not nearly as strong and in some cases, not as attractive. The cord does not fray and can easily be knotted at the end. Because it is relatively thin, it is not difficult to put through casings other fabric openings such as button holes. I wish I had discovered Paracord earlier. They come in such a variety of colors. It is much less expensive and easier to use than the cord found in fabric shops.

I have bought from Paracord Planet many times before. This time the cord jacket was pretty loose and had one flaw where an inner strand was poking through. It was still usable for my needs.

This paracord is some of the prettiest I have seen. The variety of colors is wide and very vivid! I had previously purchased another 'rainbow' paracord that was less than disappointing in vibrancy and quality. The paracord is high quality, and I am in love with Paracord Planet! Be certain to check out the seriously large array of colors, weights, and accessories they offer. Another amazing quality is that it is affordable to purchase large amounts! I have used this in many applications and it is just great. Highly recommend this company and the colors used in the cord are true.

Me encantó el producto. Se utilizó para hacer pulseras altesanales.

its exactly what I asked for.. purple para Cord :)

worked great

Used for making dog collars and leashes. Solid Paracord that does what it should. Colours are a smidge off from what it looks like on the screen but that’s expected.

Excellent paracord. Colour is as advertised.

Bought this for my daughter to do crafting, nice colour and overall product.
