550 Paracord 100ft - Black - Atwood Rope

Black 550 Paracord, 100 Ft

This is a 100 ft hank of Atwood Rope 550 paracord in solid black. Paracord is lightweight nylon cord that started out as parachute suspension line, and campers, preppers and gear tinkerers now use it for nearly every tying job. A black hank suits work where you want the cord to blend into dark kit, such as knife lanyards, pack repairs, tie-downs and braided handle wraps.

Features

• 550 Rated Cord — The 550 designation refers to a nominal 550 lb breaking strength, the standard class for general-purpose paracord.
• 7-Strand Core — Seven inner strands run inside the outer sheath, and you can pull them out to use as finer cord for small repairs and lashings.
• Braided Nylon Sheath — A woven nylon outer jacket protects the core and gives the cord a smooth, round profile that knots and braids cleanly.
• 100 Ft Length — One hank gives you enough cord for shelter guylines, several bracelets or a full run of gear lanyards.
• Solid Black Color — Plain black works with black and dark tactical kit and stays low key on knives, packs and belts.
• Hank Packaging — The cord comes coiled and banded, so it stores flat in a pack or drawer and pays out without a spool.
• Made In USA — The label carries the Atwood Rope MFG. name and a US flag with a made-in marking.

Construction And Use

The cord uses a core-and-sheath build: the 7-strand nylon core carries the load and the braided outer sheath takes the abrasion. You can cut it with a knife and seal the ends with a lighter, which is how most paracord projects are finished. Keep a hank in a vehicle, bug-out bag or workbench drawer for repairs, or use it as stock for bracelets, sling wraps and zipper pulls.
