Review on πŸ•οΈ Atwood Rope MFG 550 Paracord: 100 Feet of Durable 7-Strand Core Nylon Parachute Cord for Outdoor Survival Gear, Made in USA - Ideal for Lanyards, Bracelets, Handle Wraps, Keychains by Ricky Pee

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Strong cable but doesn't kink well

I use this paracord to run a dipole antenna through trees for ham radio users. It's definitely solid, a tree fell on it and it didn't break. It was impressive but my 2 complaints are that it creases badly and it would have been nice if they made a butterfly wrap as it got tangled up in a mess immediately after the wrapping was removed. The flex was terrible when trying to straighten the paracord because it kept tangling on itself. Definitely next year we will see how well it withstands UV and weather. Seems to be a quality product but expect to spend time unraveling it. I wrapped a 100ft skein (bought 2) and unrolling it outdoors definitely helped.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Almost never
