What is 550 Cord?

Our U.S.A.-made paracord (550) gets its name from the 550 lbs. of tensile strength it is capable of withstanding. When paracord first came into use during WW2 as a parachute cord for soldiers, the U.S. military referred to 550 cord as "Type III." Within every 550 cord from Atwood, you'll find an internal 7-strand core, each made up of 2-ply cords. This multilayered construction gives our 550 paracord the strength to support high levels of weight while remaining compact, lightweight and highly flexible. In addition to its strength and durability, 550 cord is made from materials that won't rot if exposed to water and will not fray and break from UV exposure. 550 cord is an all-in-one product that can resist anything the wilderness – or you – throw at it.
