550 Paracord 100ft - White - Rothco

White 550 Paracord, 100 Ft

This is a 100-foot hank of Rothco Type III 550 paracord in white, the general-purpose cord used for lashing, shelter lines, gear repair, boot laces and bracelet weaving. The 550 means the cord is rated to 550 pounds of tension before it breaks. White is easy to see against dark ground or foliage, which makes it a good choice for guy lines, camp markers and crafting where you want a clean, bright color.

Features

• 550 LB Test Rating — The label rates the cord at 550 pounds, which is enough for tie-downs, hanging a food bag or rigging a tarp ridgeline.
• Type III Commercial Grade — Type III is the paracord class built around the 550 lb rating, and this commercial version follows that pattern for civilian use.
• 7-Strand Inner Core — Seven inner strands sit inside a woven outer sheath, and you can pull them out when you need thinner thread for sewing, snares or fishing line.
• 100% Nylon Construction — Nylon in both core and sheath stands up to abrasion and UV exposure, so the cord holds up to repeated outdoor use.
• 100 Ft Hank — The length comes neatly bundled under a paper band, enough for several projects or a full shelter setup.
• Approx. 5/32 In Diameter — The standard paracord thickness fits common buckles, cord locks and bracelet patterns.
• Made In The USA — Rothco sources this cord from a certified US government contractor, as printed on the label.
• White Colorway — The bright white finish stands out in low light and takes fabric dye if you want a custom color.

Construction And Use

The cord pairs a braided nylon sheath with a seven-strand core, which keeps it flexible enough to knot easily while still carrying a 550 lb load. It is sold under Rothco's G.I. Plus label as commercial paracord rather than military issue. Cut and melt the ends with a lighter to stop fraying, then use it anywhere you would reach for rope but want something lighter and easier to pack.
