Paramax Utility Cord is a beefier version of 550 paracord. As a kernmantle rope, it has a twisted nylon core with a 32-strand nylon sleeve. Nylon rope has many benefits that include good resistance to rot, mold, and mildew, as well as to ultraviolet light. It is also very flexible compared to other rope materials. Paramax is a smooth braided rope that has a high abrasion resistance. Because of this, it is good for use in pulley systems. Its ability to absorb shock makes it a suitable rope for light-duty towing. Other uses include, camping, fishing, cargo nets, emergency preparedness. Keep some of this highly versatile rope in your bug-out-bag or roadside emergency kit.

***By the Foot and 100 feet options come coiled in a plastic bag. 500 feet and longer options come on a spool (original spool lengths may be larger than the length option chosen leaving the spool not completely full). Images shown might not be completely accurate with spool fulfillment.

I have no prior experience with 1/4 inch and 5/16 inch paracord, but I am very pleased with the product I received. It seems very durable, very strong, quality materials, and seems to suit my purposes as well.
