Review on πŸ”’ PARACORD PLANET: High-Strength Tactical 5-Strand Nylon Core Paracord Rope – 275 LB Tensile Strength, 3/32 Inch Diameter by Tylin Meyer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Shrinks on paracord when wet

Bought Paracord 95 from a local hobby store to use for a necklace. It has decreased by about 15%! Bought this "Paracord 275" from Revain and found that it was indistinguishable from "Paracord 95" in any way, including shrinkage. I cut it so that it can easily be pulled over my head and hung a locket on it. Took a shower with it 3 times - it shrunk so much I couldn't put it on my head and had to cut it off. Do all "paracords" compress? Is the gold standard paracord 550 also shrinking? If so, why does no one ever mention it?
