Hallo, ich war auf der Suche nach einem strapazierfähigem Paracord gewesen. Die "normalen" Paracords, auch mit sechs oder sieben Einzelfäden eignen sich zwar gut als Material zum Herstellen von zum Beispiel Armbändern , aber für mehr Belastung und Haltbarkeit eben nicht.Dieses Cord ist von der Habtik her schon deutlich höherwertiger und auch im Querschnitt mit "mehr" Material ausgestattet. Somit eine klare Kaufempfehlung für diejenigen, welche ein wirklich belastbares Paracord suchen

Muy buena calidad, resistente a tensiones grandes. Hecho en EEUU

Real paracord with excellent quality!

Spent over 20 years in the military, this is the real deal. Love it, it's para cord, what's not to love. Bought 1000 was at my door in 2 days.Only issue I found it it is the cord is very liquid when burning the ends. I have a couple of blisters from the juice that flew off while handling after a few seconds rest. I would cut the ends and they would fray a lot, which caused you to either re-cut or remember to hold the ends tight before cutting to minimize fray. Once you started burning (I used a bic lighter) you would need to burn for a good 30 seconds to get everything to gel together, rotating etc. If you do not, the outside sleeve will not adhere to the inner cord and the whole cord can lose functionality. Be careful when joining the ends. They stay hot for a good minute. 3 times I placed cord on the ground after burning, picked it up after 30 seconds or so (thinking it would be cooled off) and started tying, got a blister from a hot drop. Before I started the "drop" technique I was melting the ends and snapping the cord, thinking this would clear off any excess and cool the end off enough for working. WRONG!!!!!!!!. Got 1 hot drop on my neck and one on my finger. All my mistakes and in no way a reflection on the cords performance. It was easy to cut and easy to tie. You can never have enough and for the money it's well worth it.Again, great cord, used it to place a tarp over a 10x20 metal frame. Works very well. .

Great versatile cordage for camping etc.

**Please note that this post has been updated as of August 10th, 2018.**I am modifying my star rating from 3 stars to 5 stars. I will leave my old review below so you can still reference it as it is still true. However, the updated star review is due to several additional factors I will list below. If you have read my original review, I will asterisk my updated review so you can skip right to it if it interests you.**Original review (3/5 stars)**Parachute cord is something that every household should have. It is one of those items which can make a person's life THAT much easier, and should be kept on the same shelf as "100 mph tape" - or duct tape. I learned this in the military. I continue to learn it in non-military settings.This seems to be a high quality paracord. I haven't been able to go through the whole length of it, and have not discovered any inherent weaknesses. However, for what it is, the price is still a little high for me, and here is why:Normal 550 paracord is currently running around $50 for a 1000' roll here on Amazon. This 500' roll cost me around $70. The difference between 550 lbs. and 750 lbs.? 200 lbs. Not even half of 550 lbs. Yet half the length of this cord cost me nearly 1.5 times the cost of the 1000' roll of 550lb paracord. I could have just spent 50 dollars and doubled up on my cord to distribute the weight, and it would have cost me significantly less, and giving me significantly more performance.Still, knowing this, why did I buy this cord? Because there are times when you do need that single length of cord to pull just that little extra bit. Carrying 50' as opposed to 100' for similar performance may seem negligible, but the numbers and weights increase as the needs increase. In the end, a 1000' spool is significantly larger and heavier than a 500' spool, and they take up different spaces in your closet. When you are caught in a situation where you just want that tiny little extra bit of insurance, paying 3 times more seems very little compared to the time and heartbreak you could be going through with a slightly inferior line. It may not seem like it on a typed review on Amazon, but when you are out in the field and using your tools, reliability becomes first priority.I still buy the 550. Honestly, I haven't had 550 fail on me in any significant events. But in my heart, I DO wish the 550 could handle the 750-850 test strengths with the same/similar weight distribution as these 750lb - 850lb cords.Will update in future if anything comes up.I purchase these items with my own pennies.

Thank you!**UPDATED REVIEW as of August 10th 2018**It isn't often I come back to a review to update it AND upgrade my stars. However, every now and then a company will go the extra mile or I discover something new about a product and feel that I must update for the benefit of my fellow Amazon members (whose reviews I also heavily rely). So here's to giving back:Originally, I rated this product 3/5 stars. On Amazon's site, at three stars it says "it's ok" - which I sincerely felt at the time of writing the original review. I had weighed the pros and cons and sincerely felt that given the price and comparable products on Amazon this item was "meh. ok." Paracord was paracord to me. It is a tool. It must work. I love paracord and as any active service member or veteran can tell you - you'll never have enough of this stuff out in the field. This, and of course, the tape. This one came at a higher price and I didn't exactly love that I had to pay that much for it.**Short review**Strong customer satisfaction/service from a solid company is a definite game changer. I responded around 2 months after company reached out to me, and company did right by me. They aren't joking about the 100% satisfaction guarantee. Its not just something they mindlessly scribbled on their packaging.750 cord was not the standard I used in the military back in my day (I know, I'm old). This is "luxury cord." It is only common sense that such cordage will increase in manufacturing costs exponentially. For most of my day to day, 550 is enough for me. For those extreme days (and I don't see much of those anymore) 750 cord will most likely serve much better.**Long Review**I must admit that there were several unseen factors which I overlooked during my review that this company has in spades. These factors also contribute to pushing an "okay" item into a "great item." The owner of the company had the kindness and patience to exchange several emails with me about it - even when I gave a less than flattering review on Amazon. He took the time out of his schedule to speak with ONE customer about being less than 100% satisfied on Amazon (there are over 1000 reviews of this cord on Amazon). That kind of attention to detail? Wow. Talk about unseen costs!Lots of companies scribble "100% satisfaction guaranteed" on their packaging without knowing what that means. Not this company. Made in the U.S.A. - (and yes, though I do believe in supporting U.S. based work when I can, but mainly: there are laws in this country that ensure we have the right consumer protections in place to make sure manufacturers deliver what they promise!).The first and absolutely most important item:Customer support = peace of mind.No guarantees or warranties mean anything without a solid company behind it. How do you know if this is a high quality item? When the company BELIEVES in their product. They stand behind it 100%, and have unwavering confidence in it. They are so certain about their product, that they back it with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. And they're not joking. I have emails to prove that no purchase is too big for them to spend their time on you to just make things right for you. I didn't feel blown off. That kind of good old American customer service? YES PLEASE. Even if I do not make use of this in my next 10 purchases? I'm happy to know that if ANYTHING is not up to measure, they are standing by and will do what they can to make it right. That alone deserves 5 stars. Think about it for a moment when you are considering your next purchase.2.) Unseen certification costs/satisfaction guaranteeing costs: Not a lot of people realize this (except for you service members out there), but the government gives you "the bare minimum" to get the job done. They are strict on quality control simply because if the item doesn't work out in the field, soldiers die. When too many soldiers die from faulty manufacturing, the government changes the contractor. Its a pretty lucrative contract... but only in that contracts with the government are like guaranteed steady cash flow - not because they are greatly cashing out above cost margins. Therefore, it is always sad to see civilians base their "measurements" of "quality" off of military surplus items or the like. But if you need something that "works" - you'll want to go for "mil-spec" conforming items. Mil-spec conforming items cost money to manufacture as they must go through additional testing processes to get that "stamp of approval." Why do I mention all this? Well, it is an unseen cost to the company that the consumer doesn't always realize. It is the reason why one cord can cost more than another cord. This cord has verbiage on its packaging saying it is "certified MIL-C-5040-H" - which under military requirements categorize it at type IV. On top of that, the owner reaches out and has to deal with troublesome customers like me. Well, I do it so you don't have to right? Seriously, if you've read this far, I hope it has helped some.As for my experience? Well, I was part of an airborne unit. I got to play with parachutes a little. I'm not a paracord professional or anything, but the cord we used was only 550 (7 inner core strands). Not 750 (11 inner core strands). Thats why I say 750 is a luxury cord. 550 was pretty much "the" cord. If you're actually jumping with this cord, you'll want to remember four additional inner core strands to all that line is like adding a 30% weight difference to just your line load. Not much, but I'm always concerned about weight. Just something to think about. Better when you are civilian base jumping as you have no other load-out to worry about. Sucky if you're merc jumping into combat territories with your gear. If you're active military? Brother, you're issued what you're issued. You got no say in the matter. Keep your hands on that spare, count those seconds and pray for a safe landing!Hope this helps!

My initial review was left at the bottom if you would like to read that first.People keep getting confused at what they get depending on the feet. Please +1 my review so people can see this.50 Feet, 100 Feet, 150 Feet - These will be coiled in a bag, it will not be tangled as long as you pull it out neatly.200 Feet - This will be wound onto a TUBE.500 Feet, 1000 Feet - These will be wound onto a spoolI wanted to update my review so people really knew what they were buying. What you are buying is TRUE Military Grade Paracord. It has 11 internal strands, each strand being made up of 3 threads, as well as a tracer strand, made of three threads.Each thread, seems to be made of dozens of fibers! Mine seemed to possibly be slightly thicker than normal paracord, due to the extra strands, of course, that is good in most aspects, my other paracord may just be skinny, though I am unsure! The shipping speed was excellent and the packaging was great, since then I've tested it and used it on a swing-set where multiple people sat on top of each other (LOL) and it added up to around 680 pounds. I WOULD bet my life on this rope if I had to. Of course, there are many other preferred ropes for things like mountain climbing. Although if I had to go swinging off the side of a mountain like Tarzan, I am almost positive this rope would hold up, but I'm unsure that my bladder would!All of the negative reviews make it seem like there may be better options out there...THERE IS NOT. I'm not a arts and craft kind of guy, I recently used this paracord to see how it held up a tarp and then used a hose and threw some water on top that way I got to test a tarp and see how some cordage held up to being wet, and the weight of water. Today we're having some crazy rain with 30-40MPH winds, gusts of 65-70MPH. I don't expect to see a difference tomorrow, other than everything being soaked, and possibly frozen. Within the next couple of months I will hopefully be getting some land, and if I do, I'll throw up a lean-to shelter and post pictures of how it holds up. For the people wanting to use this for arts and crafts, I can't really say much about it, it's strength is great, and you should be able to fit it through any eyelet's.One thing I will say is that if you do allot of hiking, backpacking, or camping. This will be great for tarps, but I wouldn't recommend it for hammocks. Personally never used it on a hammock but it's gonna hurt the trees, just use the hammock straps, and get lighter ones if the included are too heavy. I've heard of people ending up on the floor due to the normal stretch of paracord, but I doubt that would happen, generally the straps that are included are best for use anyway. If anyone knows more about the subject, please inform me!If anyone has any questions, please ask, I'll let you know if I have any personal experience, of if its just research I've done, and then I'll respond to any questions! =)This is the best stuff on the market, imagine seeing almost 4000 reviews and all of them being 5-star reviews, would you not instantly buy it?I attached a picture showing the cord and its attributes.My original review is all the way at the bottom, I updated it after reading all the bad comments, and pretty much the rest of this review, is going over all of the comments people left, and why pretty much every single negative or neutral comment is inaccurate and should be taken down.What I really wanted to get across is all of the bad reviews.There are only currently five 1 Star reviews, them all being quite silly reviews.I went over 1 star, 2 star and 3-star reviews. If you want to view them, they are all below.Most of the reviews people did accidental negative reviews or were just ignorant in their purchase.In the 4 star reviews, people said how good it was, yet only put 4 stars. While I think 4 stars is good, truthfully it deserves 5, there is nothing better on the market.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------One Star Reviews:1) If you look through them you, you will see the oldest review described the product as "As described" yet put a 1-star review. I assume this was a mistake.2,3) The other 1 star reviews consist of two people who didn't know you have to burn the ends to keep them from fraying.4) One person who thinks paracord is supposed to never tangle or knot up, they did not store it properly and it knotted up.5) The last person liked the paracord but did NOT like how the seller was spamming them. The seller only sends out a couple emails, they are looking to give their buyers more than asked for, they are such great, sincere guys, as well as they have multiple links to stop the three emails that are sent out. The rest are sent by Amazon and have nothing to do with this seller.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Two Star Reviews:1) 1st guy is angry that his 100 FEET of paracord is not wrapped around a spool.Perhaps if he took a closer inspection at, the pictures he would realize that the 100 feet do not come in a spool.2) Next person says"If you use this stuff I tried it don't like it first the bag it came in it was all knotted up and this cord does not hold a not it makes lousy shoe laces don't try it" So his cord came knotted but somehow did NOT hold a knot for shoe laces...First off, that statement alone is contradicting itself, but besides that, I've never seen paracord used as shoelaces. Mine did NOT come knotted and I pulled it out neatly have it stored, it does NOT get knotted from my experience.3) Another reviewer says it did not hold up in weather, but then did not explain to the seller how it did not hold up, whether it snapped, shredded, or anything else, they simply just said they tried to use it to secure a winter pool cover. What I think is that the cord got a little fuzzy due to the elements, but it can still hold up well!4)The next reviewer claims that they could feel "hard spots" under the paracord where it was tied together, and they did not feel the same thing from some Walmart paracord they bought. They never checked if it was tied together, they just assumed.I took quite a large chunk from my 100 feet and ensured that nothing on the inside is tied together, I pulled out all of the internal strands, it is truly Military Grade paracord as I've previously stated, you won't find better quality.5) The next review thought that para-cord was rope, big thick rope, which it is not. So the buyer was ignorant and then put a two-star review.6) Another reviewer claimed their cord broke at a low weight, perhaps it did, that's one defect out of thousands, check your cords strength when you get it, and call the seller if it's defective.7,8) There are two review's left, one claimed the color is not Coyote Brown. Perhaps he was accidently shipped the wrong color, or the Coyote Brown is not an accurate description, we will never know! What I do know, is that I don't care if the only color was a bright hot pink, I'd still use this cord, it's the best I've ever purchased and I will continue to buy it from them.The last review is complete bull sh*t. Pardon my language.They claim that the FREE offer you get, for two PDF files (readable files) and 25 FREE feet of paracord, is a virus.Yes, Bill and Adam, the sellers of this product, offer you three free items, you can accept or deny it. The last review claims that the link will give you a virus, while I cannot attest to what other links he clicked on, I can tell you the email I received was completely legit and contained no virus. Every link was HTTPS secured, and all of the certificates were in place, it is a completely trusted website.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Three Star Reviews -1) First reviewer states "good"Not much detail and three stars is an "It's okay" rating, perhaps they should try and understand the rating system.2) Another review says the cord broke, but never responded as to how. Useless review.3) Next reviewer states the image pictured is not what is shipped.I don't know if they mean the color, spool differences, or if it's some big thick rope, but either way it's their fault for buying without reading.4) Another reviewer complained that he ran out of cord.....How silly does that sound? He also complains about the spools. That is why you read closely. I'm still in shock how he put a 3-star rating because he bought a 1000 spool last time from a different provider which was cheaper, and this one, logically, ran out faster due to him downgrading to 100 feet. Of course, that provider did not make this Military Grade cord.5) A reviewer didn't test the paracord but showed the inner strands, although still claims they wouldn't go to its max weight and doesn't explain why. Feel free to explain that to me, because I'm mind blown.6) David Castleman says the product wasn't as pictured, surely it was, perhaps his wasn't, or once again he is one of the people who doesn't know how to read.7) Scott accidently got a wrongfully colored paracord, although TOUGH-GRID made it right, and I guess he decided not to update the reviews...Hmm. Not very nice Scott!8) Another reviewer complains about how he got emails about leaving a review, his paracord was good, but he decides to put a 3-star review.What I find great is, Tough-Grid responded, telling him that if he can find better paracord, they will refund his offer, what I love about that is that they know there paracord is the best stuff on the market, no one competes with it.9) Next reviewer says paracord is fine and then complains about the emails.People need to stop reviewing the seller. Put your review down if the product is good or not, you can add information on the seller but don't change stars for it!10) Another review says he prefers mule tape...Of course, that has no relevance as to how well this cord performs.Second page! Woohoo!11) Says "Heavy Duty Utility Cord, what else to say"What else to say? How about perhaps why you put it as three stars! Yes, it's just rope, but imagine coming onto this page and seeing every single review being a 5-star review? Would that not sell you almost instantly? If there were almost 4000 reviews, all of them being 5-star reviews?12) Matt says it's not good for hammocks.We knew this. Hammocks need a non-stretch rope, or you need to have a sort of break-in period, to get the stretch out of the rope, or just use something like a tautline hitch so you can continuously tighten, obviously if you sleep on it, you should expect yourself on the ground in the morning.The last Third-star review!13) The mysterious Damon Hoffman! Damon Hoffman got the wrong order, due to a mess up at the Amazon warehouse. Tough-Grid wanted to send the right paracord for free but Mr. Damon did not request it, and Amazon would not give out his address to Tough-Grid, but Bill from Tough-Grid checked back every day for a year! You can see all the edits and posts he made, go take a look, it's quite amazing! It's under the 3-star reviews, sort by date and it is on the second page, at the bottom. It is the very first third-star review ever made, on Augst 8th, 2014.If you got all the way to the end, your crazy! Thanks for reading, hopefully this helped decide on your purchase and understand that all of these reviews are bull.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here is my initial review: I've had dozens of different brands of paracord, cheaper, and more expensive then this paracord, and none of them are true military grade. This paracord, has 11 inner strands, and 1 "tracer" strand. Each strand being a tri-weave design, it truly is military grade, and the people that sell them, are absolute angels, they are great guys. I highly suggest you purchase this paracord, it's the best stuff out there, for an affordable price.
