It's nowhere to be found on the spool. It is, however, very similar to 550. I've used it with all of my gear, including CAMJAMs, and it's never failed to fit or thread. The fact that it is manufactured in China rather than the United States of America is my only criticism.
It isn't a foregone conclusion. It has shrunk, but it will not shrink any further.
There is no need to shrink it before making it.
On the packaging, there is no indication of who made it. As a result, I'm fairly certain it originated in China.

This was well-wrapped and lightly warmed at the end to keep the cord in place. There were no splices and it came in a single 100-foot length of cord. It's also extremely well-made. (Bearing in mind that I have no experience with paracord, I'm relying on anecdotal evidence. ) It's only for staking a tent for me. ) If you plan on climbing, this is not the product for you, according to my understanding. While it may be capable of the task, it may not be, and you don't want to take that chance.
spec paracord (in the absence of color-coded paracord) It's not true mil-spec cord if it has a coded "tracer" cord alongside the other strands. spec; It is very high quality hobby cord, with seven threads, each made up of three yarns, as shown in the photo. The entire assembly is "rounded" rather than flat, as some cords are (which may or may not be a good thing, depending on the application), and it is very firm. It is not the most flexible cord available, so it may not be the best choice for items that require flex, such as pet leashes, but if you want/need a stiffer cord, this will suffice. br>br>I burned the inner strands as well as the outer jacket, and they both appear to be nylon as advertised, rather than polyester (poly produces dark black smoke when burned; The smoke produced by nylon is a light gray/white color. If you do this burn test, just be aware that either molten poly or nylon will stick to your skin (and pretty much anything else it comes into contact with) and cause a painful burn. br>br>I'm just getting started with paracord projects, but I'm pretty sure I'll be buying more of this 700lb cord. I also bought some of the same brand, but in the 550lb cord, and it's noticeably lighter. oblong rather than rounded, but more flexible.
I've already used about 20 feet of this cord. If you don't already have a hot knife, pick up a good $5 torch lighter and some rubber-coated paper clips. To begin, bend the outer piece of the paperclip, remove the coating, heat the end to red hot, and slide it through the ends to seal them.
I bought this paracord because of the great price. During the recent ice storm, I was able to use it to secure a tarp over my car. I never had to retie my knots because it stayed put. I'm glad I had this cord on hand, and I highly recommend it, though the fact that it's made in China is a drawback.
I received this today and began using it for a project; I purchased 500 yards because I required a long cord without knots. Within 10 minutes of starting, one end of the spool had fallen off and the cord had all knotted together. If it hadn't been for the fact that I received a spool that wasn't fully snapped together, the cord quality would have been excellent.
I bought a 700-foot spool of orange paracord. It arrived promptly and accurately matched the listing description. I've used a few sections for a variety of purposes, and they've all worked out well.
I don't have much experience with paracord, but this was much easier to work with than the paracord I bought at Ace, and it was nice and bright, which was exactly what I was looking for.
