*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2015*

This product is as advertised: a true 8 strand, 3-ply, nylon based 550 paracord. It has a noticeable heft when compared to a commercial grade, 7 strand, 2-ply 550 cord and I have no reason to doubt that it meets the mil spec requirements as claimed.Also noticed that it requires more effort to cut this cord than a lesser grade 550 cord and would highly recommend that a very sharp cutting implement be used to maintain fidelity of the cut ends. My first cuts were made with a good blade typically used to successfully cut commercial cord and although it made the cuts, the ends of this product frayed wildly. When I used a finer bladed knife honed to razor sharpness, the cuts  held together and required less clean up before cauterizing the ends. Similar results were achieved with a high quality pair of fabric shears.Overall I am pleased with this paracord and would buy it again. Being made in the U.S. is also a big plus and if you are looking for a more substantial 550 paracord than that typically found at your local sporting goods store, I do not think you will be disappointed with this product.

    Decent for re-lacing
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016*

Bought black to relace a corsette, which worked fine.03/21/2016 update:After trying out the black, bought a white one to replace a ribbon on a white corset, and the item arrived with minor damage on the outer part of the roll which resembled it being caught in some gears. Was still able to use inner part for my needs, however when the seller heard about the damage I got a replacement item without even asking for it.A a side note, I used damaged part of string to wrap around a side table leg, and my kitty  uses it as a scratch post, she seems to like it, after about month it is still going strong, I didn't expect it to last this long, quality product and good customer service :)

    Quality paracord. Can find similar quality paracord cheaper other places though.
  

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2016*

Good quality paracord. Has 8 strands in the middle as it states. I use it for all kinds of things. I keep a roll of it in my get home/ bug out bag. I've used it on vacation to secure my cooler to the back of a golf cart while driving around an island. I've used it to wrap around the handle of a hatchet for better grip. Used it to secure a thermal imaging camera to my bunker gear before going into a structure fire. It has a ton of uses only limited by your knowledge/ imagination. Only gave it 4 stars due to finding it much cheaper in other stores.
