550 Paracord - Five Colors 100 Feet Total by The Paraloft

Lately I have bought several brands and types of cord and would like to take the time to review the five different lengths that i received. I have nothing bad to say about the seller, i got all five colors in 20 foot lengths just as described.The cords must be made by different manufactures because each one of them is different in quality and feel. Starting left to right:Black - This is the least favorite of the group. The outer sheath is pretty good. It is smooth and shiny and does not fray up as you scratch it or dig at it. The cords inside feel like they are too long and it creates little bumps or lumps as you run your fingers down the length of cord. It seems like its hit or miss for me. Some of the cord i buy is very uniform and round while others are lumpy and some have very poor outer sheaths.Woodland - Nice other sheath with no fraying or anything. Cord is round and symmetric but has a minimal lumpy feel to it as you pull it through your fingers. Similar to the black but not as bad. Over all pretty good cord.ACU - Overall nice cord. Similar to the woodland but a little more smooth as you run it through your fingers. Nice outer cover, fairly uniform and a symmetric round profile. Would not hesitate to buy this in larger quantities.Desert - Different than what the picture shows but its okay by me. This is by far the best one of the bunch. I would not hesitate to buy a large roll of this stuff. The outer sheath is very nice, it is very tightly woven , the shape is almost perfectly round, and is completely smooth along the length. Not a single lump at all like the other four strands have.Olive Drab - Feels like pretty decent cord. The outer sheath is very nice, no fraying or anything. It has a round shape, typical of standard paracord. As you run it through your fingers there are some small lumps but nothing that would probably bother most people. Better than three of the pieces i received but not as nice as the desert. Over all appears to be pretty good commercial cord.Its interesting to me how different each length of cord is compared to each other. The only one i am really disappointed in is the black. It is very lumpy. They all had good outer sheaths and appear to be woven tightly. I bring this up because i bought another product in a 1000 ft spool and it is terrible. After a week in your pocket or just using a piece to tie knots the outer cover has become very frizzy almost as if it is made of cotton or something. It is listed as type 3 nylon cord but is far from any other cord i have had.In conclusion, this is pretty good cord. Its all 7 strand nylon cord that came in 20 ft lengths as specified. Im debating on whether it deserves 3 stars or 4. Im chose three because the black was so lumpy. If it had been the same as the others, i probably would have left four stars. If they all showed up in the same quality as the Desert, i would have left 5 stars no problem. For commercial cord, the desert is as good as you should expect. If you want better then you need to buy true military 5040 cord and will pay roughly twice what this costs.

It sure is....yup. they want 20 words so I guess I can list a few uses for it:Tie down a tentBuild a hoochTie stuff to your gearMake a pretty pog braceletBurn yourself melting itDummy chord your sensitive itemsTie up a victimMake a knife handleMake a lanyardGive it to a neighborString up the neighborhood catsTug of warShoe lacesPossibly edible?Its like string but strongerRig a small parachute, (only a few 2 yard lengths of it)Make a trapYou can gut it to attain many smaller stringsTrade it to IndiansMelt it with fireSurvival stuffKill "zombies" with itGive it as a child's gift, legos are expensiveHang a wind chimeFind your way out of David Bowie's labyrinthTie knotsAnd much much more

It was for my almost 12 year old because he is into survival gear & making the bracelets out of the Paracord. This was a great gift for him! He absolutely loved it & it kept him busy for days! The only downfall to it is there was a 3ft section we had to cut out because it looked like the outer layer had snagged on something & the strings of color had pulled out a bit.. Other then that it was great! & definitely worth the low price for all we got!

I purchased this bundle to make bracelets, key fobs, and various other projects. i gave it 5 start because:The cordage came as advertised. All the cordage was there in the right colors and lengths. I have ordered other supposed 550 bundles online only to be disappointed, receiving knock off cordage. This is the real deal, you won't be disappointed.The cordage was easy to weave tightly, burned properly and turned out great products. I would recommend this bundle to anyone who need multiple colors to test for new product ideas! I will order from him again in the future.Hope this helps!

Good deal for nice paracord. it would be a little nicer if it was individually set together.. as in, I had to go through and sort it all out... and it got mixed together like a large knot.. but overall this is a great deal for some cool different colored paracord

Item as pictured, only annoying thing is that they came all tangled together, so I had to untangle them to use. Luckily, paracord untangles rather easily, however I fell this could have easily been avoided by the packager placing a rubber band around each one, or even just tying each one. Otherwise, I was able to make five 6"-7" braided keychains with them and still have paracord left over.

cord isn't burned at the tips when you get them which isn't a big deal but you have to be careful when you untangle or unwind it as it could pull out more of the material. This means you'll have to "pull it back the other way" to "fix" it. My kids didn't realize this when they opened the package for me.I used the cord to teach my kids how to make bracelets, key fobs, monkey fists & a bunch of other paracord projects.

I needed some camo color variety for a customer. I was sold on this deal, 5 colors, each a length long enough to wrap a machete. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the black and green though. I hope the seller can offer a 5 pack that is 5 camo colors. I have 1000 ft. rolls, but it's not like I'm going to buy 1000 ft. of colors I don't use a lot. So that is why I bought this 5 pack.
