WINGONEER550 Paracord Mil Spec Type III 7 strand parachute cord 100 feet

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: This isn't strictly "Mil-Spec" cord; there "should be" one coloured manufacturer's identifier strand in the core, and the sheath "should" fray easily. Personally, I'm glad the sheath doesn't fray easily, and couldn't care less about the coloured ID strand. It's not "strictly Mil-Spec" - but it's really good.FYI: Find YouTube channel "jiujitsu2000" for his Sept '15 upload ( watch?v=AlFvUvIRJfk ) detailing the various "types" and "kinds" of paracord.ALSO: Slightly "oily" when wet. Dries quite quickly.________This is the first 550 Paracord I've bought, but have researched carefully what this cord should be.The description matched up to what I wanted, and the cord doesn't disappoint!Each of the 7 inner cords, is made of 3 twisted threads, which alone are very strong and useful.The outer sheath is tightly braided of tough, abrasion and cut resistant material.Cut ends can be perfectly sealed with a heat source (such as a cigarette lighter) to prevent fraying.It comes nicely wrapped into a manageable bundle as in the picture, and packaged in a long and narrow ziploc bag.I am reasonably confident that this cord will support the specified weight, although I've not put it to the test (yet).The inner threads alone are immensely strong.If I ever find that it doesn't perform, I'll return to this review and update it.

Good colours. Strong cord. Good for purpose.

Excellent product. I bought this to tie on to hillwalking gear that is not immediately easy to spot when laid down on the ground (GPS, camera, compass etc).The bright yellow colour makes spotting the cord in daylight very easy. The reflective flecks, which are frequent and well sized, allow for finding the cord, and whatever it is tied to, at night equally easy.Handling is good. The cord is relatively supple, which helps with knot tying. Whilst I have not subjected any of the cord to anything like a weight test, I am confident that it will comply with the stated breaking strain.The only thing that is a bit of a pain is that, once cut, the frayed ends are quite difficult to seal using the lighter and pliers method. I have a £25 butane rope knife, which overcomes this problem.Recommended.

Glows pretty well and has 9 cores so is very strong. The one problem I'm having with it is that it's very difficult to seal the ends. Usually you can just melt the exterior to the cores with a quick bit of flame but with this paracord it seems harder to bind them together for some reason and even after melting it they sometimes separate. Not a big problem, just slightly annoying.

Firstly, the delivery time was amazing. Ordered in the morning and delivered by the afternoon. Excellent Paracord, using it as tent guy ropes. Fits the tensioners fine and seems very strong. Only thing I would advise, once cut to length, the white inner nylon reinforcement does tend to move along inside the outer green layer. I just cut to length, then burnt the ends to secure. Will definitely use again if our dog decides to bite through three guy lines again...lol

After hunting through a whole host of adverts for paracord I finally stumbled upon this company. They are actually selling seven strand paracord, unlike a host of others who seem to be passing off substandard cord as seven strand paracord.Plus the positive reviews on this cord were from verified purchasers.I'm very suspicious of all the positive reviews that come from people who have been given a product to test and review. Especially when the reviews could almost be mirror images of each other. And I stumbled across a couple of adverts like that when looking for paracord, as I said though, that wasn't the case with this paracord.Is this stuff military grade? I have no idea, but so far it's certainly living up to the description of 550 paracord. I bought it to set up a tarpaulin, and it's done the job nicely.I'm going to be bookmarking this product, and would happily buy again from this supplier.And for the price, it seems pretty good value for money.

It is what it says it is. Strong and with a multitude of uses; I've used it in the garden to help wrap covers over out door furniture, support a large tree branch which, despite repeated heavy rainfalls feels as strong as when I put it up with no sign of movement of the branch. As I said lots of uses, if you need a strong cord for a job then this is probably the stuff.Feels as good as it did when I used it for what it's really designed for many years ago.

This stuff is pretty strong; it's currently in my boots as laces (well not the whole 100metres!)it's been used so far to lift around 100lbs and showed no real stress on the line, so I would be happy to use this for an emergency rope for most things!not full military compliant as its missing the colour coded strand, but it's 7 times 3 nylon strands inside a suitable sheath; should easily hold a few hundred pounds.
