Description

Gear Aid Heavy-Duty 550 Paracord is the cord that earns its spot in every camp kit: 9.14 m of 4 mm, 100% nylon paracord with a carabiner clipped through the hank. Run it out as a fresh guy line when the one on your tent frays, string a ridgeline for a tarp over the camp kitchen, or tie up a drying line between two gums at the end of a wet day. The reflective colours throw back a head torch beam, so you see the line before you walk into it.

What it is

A single 9.14 m length of 550 paracord, about 74 g, with a woven nylon sheath over seven inner strands. Pull the core strands out and they work as thread for a field repair or as light fishing line.

Who it's for

Campers, hikers and bikepackers who want spare cord for guy lines, clotheslines, tarps and hanging food or a lantern at camp. It is camp cord, not climbing rope, and it is not for climbing.

Which colour to choose
