WINGONEER 550 Paracord Mil Spec Type III 7 strand parachute cord 100 feet

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.

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.

This is reasonable quality paracord although note that the reflective component is a thin ribbon rather than the 3M type reflective threads. This actually means that the reflective material can rub off quite easily and when stretched the ribbon tends to bobble out the weave a little. It is, however, very bright and for low wear applications is excellent

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.

Good colours. Strong cord. Good for purpose.

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.

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

Proper 7 strand dpm paracord. You won't find better for cheaper. I use it to wrap slingshots etc, good for hanging tarp. NOT FOR CLIMBING 😂 it might take a tiny woman's weight but the cord would be stretched so thin it would be like climbing using metal wire, at best.

Die Schnur wurde für Armbänder verwendet und dafür erfüllt sie ihren Zweck sehr zu meiner Zufriedenheit. Bereits nach ganz kurzer Lichteinwirkung fängt das Band zu leuchten an, wobei es eher grünlich leuchtet. Sieht auf jeden Fall sehr gut aus, die Farbe ist sehr stark und entspricht der Abbildung. Also für alle Armband- oder Hundeleinenbastler kann ich sie nur empfehlen. Habe auch andere Schnüre von Wingoneer bestellt, welche nicht fluoreszierend sind und kann nur sagen, auch dort hat mich die Farbqualität überzeugt.

Does what it says

Used for sleeving pc wiring. Worked perfectly and appears to be of good construction. Unsure if it can be used as a parachute cord?

3色購入しました。 過去に様々な会社や輸入品のパラコードを購入してきましたが、こちらのコードは円形で内部の遊びも少なく、外皮のクオリティも高いと感じました。 細かなことですが、内芯のヨリ具合がとても綺麗です。 他の色も一通り揃えてみようと思います...

Buena calidad para hacer manualidades de todo tipo!
