Questions & Answers

I'm looking for burnt or dark orange paracord, and I'm wondering if the actual colors match the pictures. Is that orange really that dark?

Yes, it is the correct color; however, the orange is quite dark. thanks

Is it better to use 2 ply or 3 ply strands?

It was, in fact, 5 ply. Very powerful.

Is this cord truly 4mm in diameter? I've only seen PC that's around 3mm thick?

Their inner cords are different. This is where the 3mm or 4mm comes from.

Is it able to withstand the effects of the sun?

Outside, I used them for a variety of purposes. After a few years, the cord that had been kept in the shade is still in good shape. The cord that has been exposed to sunlight for the same amount of time has turned to dust on the outside, while the inner strands have held up a little better.

Selected User Reviews For 100ft 550 Paracord Parachute Cord Lanyard Mil Spec Type III 7 Strand Core

There were no burn marks on the ends
4/5

Instead of one day, it took two days to arrive. Strangely, the cord was not singed at the ends; instead, the 7 strands were exposed for over an inch beyond the sheath on both ends. As a result, I measured the entire cord and found it to be about 2 inches short of 100 feet, most likely because the sheath was constricted due to the strands not being properly set.

PARACHUTE CORD THAT WAS NOT REAL
3/5

This product is prone to tangling and emits a bothersome chemical odor. I don't mind the shortcommings because I'll be using it outside in a light-stretch application. Look elsewhere if you're looking for genuine parachute cord.

Knots aren't my strong suit, but the extraterrestrial green is pretty cool
3/5

The color is cool and it appears to be solid. The material is stiff and shiny, making it difficult to tie a knot with. I wouldn't use it for survival or anything that requires knots, but it might be okay for a civilian doing crafts or something that doesn't require knots. I'm not sure what tensile strength is, so don't rely on it for anything important. Green is a refreshing color.

When compared to others, it burns unevenly and has a dull appearance
3/5

When compared to other paracord, the outer part of the cord has a dull appearance, burns differently, and does not stick as well. If you get too close to an end while burning it, the outside will burn, leaving the white cords visible on the inside.

The product was fantastic, and I had a lot of fun working with it
5/5

I made several bracelets and one lanyard, and this is the second time I've ordered this product, and it has not disappointed me.

It seems to work fine
4/5

This paracord appears to be of a commercially available type. Instead of using the camo variety, I'm using it for portable HAM radio antenna tie downs to increase visibility and keep people and animals safer.

For paracord projects, this is a fantastic color
5/5

I really like this paracord; it looks great on its own or paired with another color. It arrived on time, in excellent condition, and in the exact condition that I had hoped for. This is a company from which I would buy again. At shows, my bracelets sell well, and I'm confident that this color will be a hit.
