I use this cordage regularly and for many applications. I keep some in my vehicles, backpacks, tool kits etc. If you need a strong cordage that can perform to specifications, this stuff is a good choice. Reasonably priced and reliable. Comes in a variety of different colors.
Note - Be wary of some brands, as some call their products 550 paracord when in actuality it's not the real product. They sell a cheap knock-off product with a cheap solid center core. If you read the fine print on these, it likely has a 40Lbs Test. Very misleading and commonly priced the same. Do yourself a favor and buy the real deal.
Color: this stuff is BRIGHT! it can probably be seen from the moon with a naked eye.. along with the Great Wall of China.. maybe seen even easier than the Wall.. it is so bright, it looks like it needs its own set of batteries.. did I mention it is brightly colored??
Price is great, especially considering the manufacturing quality.. this isn't that cheap nylon cord that some of the dollar-store survival bracelets are made from.. this stuff could save your life, it is the real deal. Its just VERY BRIGHT!!
If you need incredibly strong, brightly colored cord, go for it!
Thanks for reading, hoped you liked my review. Best of luck shopping!
