About Our Cords
Whats is paracord?
Paracord is a strong, thin, lightweight rope, usually made of nylon. It was developed by the military and originally used for parachute suspension lines. Over time people discovered it could be used for all kinds of survival, outdoor, home and craft projects.
550 Paracord
550 paracord is the traditional cord used for parachute lines by the military. When people say paracord, they are usually referring to 550 paracord. It has a woven sheath with seven inner nylon strands which combine to give it a 550 pound tensile strength. It protects against mold, mildew, rot, and UV radiation.
275 Paracord
275 paracord has 5 inner strands and has a tensile strength of 250-275 pounds. 275 paracord is half the diameter of 550 paracord and works well for lanyard holes that are too small to tether 550 paracord.
Atwood Rope Mfg
Atwood Rope Mfg was founded in 1985 and is located in Millersport, Ohio. Atwood's paracord uses a polyester sheath over nylon inner core strands. The polyester sheath is incredibly rugged and feels substantial. These cords meet the 550 pound tensile strength specification.
E.L. Wood Braiding
E.L. Wood Braiding was founded in 1995 and is located in Marathon, New York. E.L. Wood's paracord uses a nylon sheath over nylon inner core strands. This cord feels softer and more flexible, but still meets the 550 pound tensile strength specification.
