## Questions & Answers

**Q: Im looking for the true mil-spec paracord with 7 strands, + 1monofilament strand, 1 copper strand, & 1 waxed cotton strand?**
A: Hi Krista, What you are describing doesn't actually exist because True Mil Spec never includes the mono-filament strand, copper strand, or waxed cotton strand.  There are hybrids out there that have such items, but they are not Mil Spec compliant.  Titan makes a great product that you might like and they are also on Amazon.  All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID

**Q: What is the diameter of the cord?**
A: Well, not sure if things have changed in their production of this paracord, but here on this product page it currently (2022-07-29) specifies that the diameter is 1/8" (0.125") ± 1/32, and also says ~3–4mm. Though 1/8 ± 1/32" actually gives a range of 0.09375 – 0.15625" or 2.38125 – 3.96875 mm; which is a broader range than in the description here, and twice as wide but with smaller diameters than in the old reply to this question. 

The purpose of the tracer strand(s) is just for identification of the manufacturer when sold to the military – each manufacturer has a different color or set of colors to be included in one of the core yarns, there's nothing special about it and it doesn't do anything functional for the cord; and all Nylon is UV and abrasion resistant, everyone says that.

**Q: Is this Paracord colorfast? I’m wanting to use it as a clothesline, but use a bright color to see easier while mowing without staining wet clothes.**
A: I've used a couple thousand feet of this stuff over the years.  I've used black, safety yellow, blue, camo, and red.  Most of my uses are outdoors and some last for years outdoors. None of this faded in any way that stood out to me. I'm not saying it will not fade, I am saying if it fades, it does so in unremarkable fashion. I love the Tough-Grid paracord, it's been far superior to the knock-off cord.

**Q: difference between type lll and type lV ?**
A: Mostly breaking strength (550lb for Type III and 750lb for Type IV). The strength difference comes from the fact that Type III has (7) triple-twisted inner strands and Type IV has (11) triple-twisted inner strands. If you're interested, you can always look up the actual specification from the U.S. government, but I have no way of posting it here, unfortunately. It's the MIL-C-5040H document and it goes into more detail than you will probably ever want to know. 😉 Hope that helps! Let us know if you have other questions. All the Best, Adam... TOUGH-GRID

    Still going a year later
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2023*

This is still holding up a year later holding my antenna in the trees. No signs of degradation. Will update later if it fails. Good quality for the price!

    Great quality, good price, excellent company
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023*

I've ordered from Amazon many times over the years,  and this is the 1st followup email about their product from the company directly.  This makes me happy that there are still companies that ensure their product is up to standard and not taking the money and ghosting people.I usually only rate if the product is either really junk (not often because I research before buying) or if it exceeded my expectations.This 550 cord is the best I've come across thus far, and not just cheap bracelet line. I will be rating them 5 stars,  especially because of their followup for quality products and not just letting Amazon shoot a standard text asking how it was.

     I’ve been making slings out of paracord for a while now and have tried several brands of cordage, and I’m ex-military, so I’ve been using paracord for everything from lanyards to actual parachutes for decades. This stuff is beyond better than anything I’ve found yet. It’s not stiff at all. Perfect diameter. The outer layer is super slinky like Spectra (Kevlar) and never bunches up or catches a snag, it never gets a “bulge” and it is truly tuff as all hell. On my slings I wrap the pouch with a double braid and pull it extremely tight and got zero bunching of the outer layer. After working with two 20 foot strands and was finishing the end of the sling, there was zero bunching of the outer layer. It’s just amazing stuff to work with, and beautiful. It’s made in the U.S.A. baby! And it’s no more expensive than the cheap stuff. No brainer here; whether you’re hanging your underpants, or repelling off a cliff (no recommendation here) just get it and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
