Known as Mil-C-5040 Type 3 in military lingo, this small rope was originally developed for use in parachutes and is also referred to as paracord. Genuine 550 cord has a tensile strength of 550 pounds (hence the name) and is composed of seven individual nylon strands encased within a braided nylon outer sheath.
One of the key advantages of 550 cord is the ability to remove the inner strands for individual use. LifeView Outdoors only sells genuine Mil-C-5040 Type 3, 550 cord from the same mill that supplies the government. Our 550 cord is manufactured to military specifications, not to commercial specifications which tend to be less rigorous.
