Introducing the Paracord 550 Type II, a robust and versatile tool crafted for those who value preparedness. Originally designed during World War II for military parachutes, this paracord has evolved into an indispensable asset for both outdoor enthusiasts and home users alike.
The essence of its strength lies in its construction: a 7-2 ply strand core enveloped by a sheath composed of 32 tightly woven strands. This intricate design not only ensures high tensile strength but also provides flexibility and durability under various conditions. With a tensile capacity of 500 pounds, it stands ready to support you whether you're navigating the wilderness or tackling tasks at home.
This paracord's lightweight nature does not compromise its durability; it's quick-drying and rot-resistant, making it ideal for all-weather use. Its vibrant patterns add visibility without sacrificing function—an important feature when every second counts in survival scenarios.
Beyond aesthetics, each strand can be unraveled from the core to serve multiple purposes such as crafting shelters, snares, fishing lines, traps, handle wraps—or even defense mechanisms if the situation demands. In emergencies where creativity is your best ally, having this paracord on hand could make all the difference.
Proudly made in America by certified government contractors using commercial-grade materials (100% woven nylon), this product embodies reliability and quality assurance that few others match. For any outdoorsman or household seeking readiness against unpredictability—a must-have addition to emergency kits or daily utility items—this is your go-to gear.
