Description
The Gear Aid 550 Paracord is an essential, military-grade utility cord built for survival, tactical operations, camping, and emergency preparedness. Made from 100% heavy-duty nylon, this premium paracord features a tough outer mantle woven over 7 inner strands. In an emergency, these inner nylon strands can be unraveled and pulled out to function as high-strength fishing line, sewing thread, or wilderness sutures.
True to its 550 rating, this cord boasts a minimum breaking strength of 555 lbs (251 kg), providing unwavering reliability when securing heavy loads on a vehicle roof rack, tying down rain tarps in a storm, constructing emergency shelters, or hanging food away from wildlife. Unlike cheap poly-chords, Gear Aid's nylon construction resists rot, mold, and harsh UV degradation, ensuring it retains its structural strength season after season in the field.
