Para Cord

Discover 550-type paracord for survival, bushcraft and general outdoor use. From Type III-style 550 cord to lightweight options for field repairs, our range covers everyday cordage needs. This is commercial paracord in the Type III style, not certified military-specification cord unless a product page says otherwise.

How to Choose the Right Paracord

Selection depends on intended use. Type III 550 paracord remains the standard for survival kits and bushcraft, offering 550lb breaking strength with seven inner strands. For shelter lines and light load-bearing tasks, a true seven-strand core gives consistent performance. Paracord is general cordage, not a rope rated for climbing or lifting people.

Lightweight repairs and lashing require Type I or II cord. Precision work benefits from 1.18mm micro cord. If you specifically need certified military-specification cord (MIL-C-5040H), check that the product states it and carries the maker's tracer strand, as most commercial 550 cord is Type III-style rather than certified.
