Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord) is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during World War II. Once in the field, paratroopers found this cord useful for many other tasks.

It is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians.

Our paracord is made in the U.S.A. by the same manufacturer who makes it for the US Military.  

If the color you want is not available in a certain size be sure to check in the other sizes for availability.
