Helikon-Tex® 550 Paracord / 30 m

Helikon-Tex 550 Paracord is a versatile nylon cord for outdoor activities, bushcraft, camping and emergency kits. It combines strength and packability with inner strands that can be used separately for minor repairs or improvised tasks in the field.

Inner strands and a protective outer sheath

The inner nylon strands are protected by a braided outer sheath. Once pulled out of the sheath, they can be used individually as thinner cords for gear repairs and other improvised tasks.

Durable nylon for outdoor use

The nylon resists UV exposure and rot. Its colorfast construction is suitable for prolonged use in outdoor conditions.

For outdoor activities, bushcraft and camping

Use the paracord to set up a shelter, organize your kit, secure gear or tackle other tasks around camp and in the field. Its compact size makes it easy to pack in a backpack or emergency kit.
