Paracord is a lanyard originally used in parachute design during World War II. Hence the origin of his name. The soldiers were thrown behind enemy lines and, once they abandoned the parachute because they were cumbersome, they recovered the lanyard so that it could be used in all circumstances. This was how his incredible qualities emerged: light, weatherproof, UV resistant, wear and rubbing. It turned out to be an excellent tool for tying and carrying branches for fire, for building shelter, for batting an injured limb, for preparing traps for animals or enemies. It has a breaking load of 250 kg, and this makes it a lanyard suitable for any type of outdoor activity: camping, survival routes and hikes of various types. The outer sock is made of 100% high tenacity polyester yarns, the core of 7 nylon garments, each of which consists of 3 additional twisted threads, can also be used individually for repairing objects, fishing and sewing by hand. Paracord also has great use in costume jewellery. It is widely used to make bracelets and keychains.
