Born from the contraction of the words cord and parachute, here is the original paracord from the United States. It has been used since World War II by the American military for parachute suspension lines. Atwood Rope is the official supplier, and at Kodiak Store, we are very proud to offer their products. It's the high strength of this nylon rope, capable of supporting up to 250 kg of weight, that makes it so valuable. Moreover, some ropes, composed of 11 nylon strands, offer resistance up to 340 kg. This makes it an incredibly robust and extremely reliable cord.
Its use has evolved over time. This utility rope is regularly used for survival or mountaineering, but not only. Aesthetic, slightly elastic, and flexible, it is also highly appreciated for braiding. It can be made into bracelets, fishing nets, knife handles, or even purely decorative small accessories.
The key words to remember about this cordage are: adaptability, safety, and versatility. Enough to satisfy seasoned athletes, survival enthusiasts, and braiding hobbyists. Paracord comes in a wide variety of diameters, sheaths, and colors, depending on your tastes and needs. Some allow you to start a fire and others to fish. Thus, you'll definitely find a paracord to suit you. Beware, not all paracords are created equal! We have chosen (as with all other items offered in our store) to rigorously select the brands and products presented.
