What is Paracord
Paracord is parachute cord. It is used by the military for parachutes. Paracord is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during World War II. Once in the field, paratroopers found this cord useful for many other tasks. It is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians. This versatile cord was even used by astronauts during STS-82, the second Space Shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.[1]
The braided sheath has a high number of interwoven strands for its size, giving it a relatively smooth texture. The all-nylon construction makes paracord fairly elastic.
What style of Buckles are used?
The style of buckles that we use are either 5/8" contoured buckles or 1/2" straight buckle with whistle. We can do larger smaller depending on the want of the customer.
Use of Paracord?
The use of paracord is vast. All of our items can be unraveled from the state that they are in (i.e. bracelet, lanyard, key chain, etc) and used as rope for anything. The cord will withstand 550lbs before breaking.
