550 Type III Cord is effectively the most well-known and used cord from the Parachute Cord family that has been long trusted by the US military. The 2-ply/7 inner strands made up of high-strength synthetic fibers guarantee the cord's exceptional tensile strength (550 pounds) and durability; an impressive feat, considering its size (about the thickness of boot laces). Paracord Rope's 550 Type III Paracord is manufactured by a certified US government contractor. Made in the USA. Paracord Rope is a veteran-owned small business.
