1/8 Inch Paracord for Everyday Utility and Outdoor Use
The 1/8 inch general purpose paracord is a dependable solution for users who need strong, lightweight cordage. Because it balances durability with flexibility, it works well for outdoor adventures, emergency kits, and everyday tasks.
Additionally, its compact size makes it easy to store in backpacks, vehicles, or tool kits without taking up valuable space.
Lightweight Cordage with Reliable Strength
This 1/8 inch paracord offers a working load limit of 160 lbs, making it suitable for a wide range of non-load-bearing applications. While it remains lightweight, it still provides the strength needed for securing gear, building shelters, or organizing equipment.
Moreover, the cord is constructed from a blend of polypropylene, nylon, and polyester, which improves abrasion resistance and long-term durability.
Versatile Uses for Camping, Survival, and Home Projects
Paracord is known for its adaptability. Therefore, this 1/8 inch paracord can be used for tasks such as tarp ridgelines, clotheslines, trail marking, and equipment tie-downs.
In addition, it’s popular for survival bracelets that can be unraveled when cordage is needed in an emergency. Many outdoor professionals recommend keeping at least 50 feet on hand, and this 100-foot length provides added flexibility.
Understanding Working Load Limit vs. Breaking Strength
The listed working load limit (WLL) represents the maximum recommended load for safe use. However, it is important to note that WLL is always lower than the rope’s breaking strength.
According to the Cordage Institute, WLL guidelines help ensure safety and longevity during use. Always follow recommended limits and avoid critical load-bearing applications.
