550 Paracord 100ft - Hunter Green - Rothco

Hunter Green 550 Paracord

This is a 100 ft hank of Rothco 550 Type III paracord in hunter green, the general-purpose nylon cord people use for lashing gear, rigging shelters, replacing bootlaces and tying down loads. It is rated to 550 lb, which is where the "550" name comes from. Campers, hunters, preppers and anyone who builds bracelets, lanyards or knife wraps will get plenty of use from a length this size.

Features

• 550 Lb Test Rating — The cord is rated to a 550 lb breaking strength, the standard figure for Type III paracord.
• Type III Commercial Grade — Type III is the paracord class built around the 550 lb rating, and "commercial" means it is made for civilian sale rather than delivered under a military contract.
• 7-Strand Inner Core — Seven nylon strands run inside the woven outer sheath, and you can pull them out for use as finer cord or thread.
• 100% Nylon Construction — Nylon sheath and core give the cord some stretch under load and resist rot, and you can seal a cut end with a flame to stop it fraying.
• 100 Ft Length — The hank holds 100 ft (about 30 m) of cord, enough for several tie-downs, a guyline set or a run of craft projects.
• Hunter Green Color — A dark green that blends with woodland kit and outdoor gear without standing out.
• Made In The USA — The cord is manufactured in the United States by a certified US government contractor.
• Banded Hank Packaging — It ships coiled and held by a paper label band, so it stores flat in a pack or drawer until you need it.

Construction and Use

Paracord has a two-part build: a braided outer sheath that takes abrasion and an inner core of strands that carries most of the load. This Rothco cord uses a 7-strand nylon core inside a nylon sheath and is rated at 550 lb. As a commercial Type III cord it suits everyday outdoor, utility and craft work. For climbing or life-safety use, choose rated rope.
