GOLBERG Nylon Paramax Utility Cord – Choose from 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch Diameter – Available in 5 Lengths and 20+ Colors

I bought this as I wanted a larger diameter cord other than 550 Paracord.I have been wanting to make a Monkey Fist with a 2" ball bearing I had laying around for some time.I tried 550 Paracord but didn't like the results, the OCD in me.I wanted a larger diameter cord but not only larger it had to have strength.I have never used this cord nor knew it existed.This is awesome cord, very strong, very sleek, easy to work with.I know there are better uses for this cord than what I used it for but to be honest this is EXACTLY the cord I was looking for!Love the color as well, it POPS!So glad I purchased this, took a chance, happy with the results.I called it cord but this is on the cusp between cord and rope.I will be purchasing more of this in the future, amazing stuff, with unlimited uses!

I ordered 100’ hanks of multicam and desert camo, both in 1/4”. This stuff is legit! The cordage is slightly stiffer than 750 paracord, and substantially more so than standard 550. As a result, it bundles extremely well in coils of 50’. It is not so stiff as to make tying knots difficult, so far it seems absolutely perfect. It has the same type of outer weave that standard paracord has, so there is plenty of friction to keep knots stable.Cutting and melting the ends of this cordage is exactly like dealing with standard paracord. The ends don’t blow up into a 2” fray when cut, and quickly melt down to a smooth nub when placed into a small flame.In comparison, I purchased some 6mm “utility cordage” from a rock climbing rope company. That stuff was more expensive per foot than this Paramax cord, and is otherwise complete junk. The 6mm cordage was way too stiff for anything except horse bridles, and is so slick it won’t stabilize any knots. When cut, the ends blow up into a multi inch fray, and that makes melting the ends a real chore. Since I don’t hike with an electric hot-knife, that is very inconvenient. What a joke that 6mm stuff is.Back to this paramax cordage! I will be using this cordage for heavy duty lashing, bear bag hanging, uber-strength ridge line, the list goes on & on.As for color, the multicam is a medium shade of olive drab, with a good mix of other colors & patterns. This is true camo for anything in wooded or shrubby areas. The desert camo is perfectly suited to more arid places, and is quite nice looking. Since I only use reflective cordage for guy lines, I’m unlikely to buy any of this paramax cord in any of the bright colors. But it’s nice that so many colors are offered.This is my new go-to for anything that 550 or 750 won’t handle. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

This is well-stuffed line. It's not spongy. Nice and firm.It's slightly stiff but still holds a well-dressed knot well, due to the surface friction.The colors are gorgeous. Red is like a deep ruby. Not pink.Feels great in the hand. Nothing beats nylon.

Some knot-tying video guy recommended paracord, so I got some. This paracord is far and away the strongest feeling rope I've ever laid hands on, and it's really very smart looking and easy to handle (it is not at all likely to tangle up on you!), but it is not the best to wrangle around trying to learn some new knots to tie for the fun of it. It's stiff enough that it won't bend flat against itself, and it is tortion-resistant, too (if you twist one end, the rest of the rope will follow). For knots - unless you're going to be dealing with heavy rope like you might find around boats, yachts, or ships - the rope itself is a small added challenge. Knots in this do hold fast, but for practicing knots, I would prefer something softer and less resistant that goes limp easily, even though it is tougher to untie. Also, for this stuff, if you want to cut it at all you need something really above-standard sharp, so I imagine that for rock climbing it would be prized for its toughness and minimal-stretch strength. With a clean cut, melting the end is very easy. I hope I haven't offended any who have extensive experience with ropes and who know what paracord is best for.

I have purchased paracord from these folks before and have never been unhappy with their product or service. I highly recommend this product. You may see a bad rating and that was an accident. I was trying to rate another product and it got switched by accident.

The paracord is high quality, nice and flexible, and the outer sheath seems to be tough. There was a mistake on the initial shipment and I re iced less than I had ordered, but the seller responded to my message instantly, and sent the missing items immediately. Very good, responsive customer service. I definitely recommend.

This is quality rope and will last for years.

I got this as a better quality rope to lash tarps and materials in my trailer. This met my expectation. It's a good quality rope with nice hand that should provide long service.
