Versatile, Practical & Lightweight
Building shelters. Setting up tarp ridgelines. Making emergency gear repairs. Replacement shoe laces. Hoisting equipment over challenging terrain. Hanging food bags safely away from wildlife or securing loads around camp. Long story short, 550 Paracord is one of the most versatile, useful items you can carry with you in the wild.
No-Frills Functionality At Its Finest
Originally developed to serve as military parachute suspension lines, 550 Paracode is designed to perform in extreme situations when gear failure simply isn’t an option. Whether you’re setting up camp deep in the backcountry, practicing bushcraft skills, or making emergency repairs, this high-quality Paracord delivers for strength, reliability and durability in demanding outdoor environments.
Built for Long-Lasting Performance
550 Paracord features a tightly braided outer sheath made from durable nylon fibers, forming a smooth and durable protective layer that resists abrasion and maintains flexibility even after repeated use. This braided construction helps the cord handle tension, friction, and knotting without fraying or weakening easily. The result is a cord that remains dependable over time, even when exposed to rough handling, damp conditions, or prolonged outdoor use.
Multipurpose 7-Stand Inner Core
Alton’s 550 Paracord features a 7-strand inner core, each made from high-quality nylon fibers. These strands add significant structural strength to the cord while also providing extra versatility when needed. In bushcraft or survival situations, a single length of paracord can be broken down into multiple thinner cords that can be used for smaller, more precise tasks.
