TOUGH-GRID 550 paracord is true mil-spec Type III — nylon sheath over seven inner yarns, each made of three strands, with an authentic 550-pound minimum breaking strength. The braid is tighter than the commodity paracord sold at big-box stores, which means less stretch under load and cleaner cuts when you need to strip it down to inner strands for fine-cordage work.
The 100-foot hank in tactical black is enough for shelter lashings, ridgelines, gear repair, bracelets, or any situation where you need strong cord that coils small and lives in a pack. The inner strands pull out for sewing, fishing line, or emergency repairs — the seven-yarn construction is what separates real paracord from imitations.
TOUGH-GRID manufactures its paracord in Nebraska under U.S. government mil-spec certification. The braiding equipment, nylon yarn, and finished product all originate domestically, and every spool is tested against the published specification before it ships.
