what's the softest paracord cord ?

Most brands are made to imitate this one. Rothco is made of 100% nylon and it is very soft. It's the only brand I use so I really can't compare it to others.

1875. And stronger than other cord keepers I've tried. My favorite so far :)

It's much thinner and it's at least as strong. Also doesnt stretch much and doesn't melt. If you need some really strong cord to keep in a small space it's worth it.

Hey, Patrick: Darren Wright from Paracord 550 MilSpec, here. Thanks for your question! I suspect that you are asking this question because there is quite a lot of Paracord on Amazon and other places that claim to be compliant with the MilSpec ... but just arent. We've noticed ... heavy sigh ... too! We have all of the MIL-C-5040H documentation in our files but it is so complicated that we don't bother to confuse our customers by sending it out. What we consider to be better is ... now we are sending out an ebook called, "We Love MilSpec Paracord and So Will You!" which explains in great detail and with very high resolution close-up pictures, all about the differences between MIL-C05040H Paracord and commercial Paracord. Inside of our ebook, we also provide a link to download your own copy of MIL-C-5040H. It's a tough read - 19 pages of "government" type writing, but it's good for Paracord Snobs, like us ... or for insomnia! Hope this helps! Keep Charging! Darren Wright, Customer Service Manager Paracord 550 MilSpec (TM)

Soft-ish. They aren't rough and cheap like Sparkle or store brand, but they are not as soft as Kleenex brand Vive I think it is.

I wrap mine in paracord. Gives you additional resource of cord plus a variety of looks depending on how you wrap it also cheap. The are lots of scales made for these knives tho if you're into that.

I hate to say that I don't know the diameter of 550 para cord. However I do know that a standard nylon boot lace that is made similar to the para cord I use for camping just thinner will fit through the handle and makes a great Lanyard....

Hello jd,The diameter of the paracord is 1/8' or 4mm. For product specific questions like this, it's best to contact the seller about the product. It'll be a much quicker response. Thanks!

It looks and feels like real paracord, but I have not unwrapped it to test strength or durability. If you were a contestant on Naked and Afraid this probably isn't the one item you want to take with you, but for having around the house for $5 it is a god deal.

sadly no this cord is very stiff and I've tried to soften it up with use but to no avail. however they sound amazing so i deal with the cord issues.

Hi Atilla, Sorry I didn't see this question long ago! Must be my old eyes or something. ; - ) There is a range at which our 750lb Type 4 Mil Spec cord fails/breaks. Generally speaking... that is somewhere between 760 and 820+ pounds. Why the range? Well, even though we ONLY sell Mil Spec cord, there are still variations in the yarns that necessitate an honest disclosure about the break strength. In reality... no two cords are ever identical due to variations in the nylon manufacturing process. That said; our cord always exceeds the 750lb minimum break strength... sometimes it exceeds it by more than other times. Thanks, Bill... TOUGH-GRID

Type III Paracord (550 lb) is 3 mm in diameter for the commercial version. Mil Spec Type II Paracord is 4 mm in diameter.

The main thing is to get a high-quality cord so it will stay flexible in the cold. I have a very stiff cord that's orange and black that is difficult in the snow, or an orange one that is quite soft/flexible, which makes a HUGE difference. Spring for a really good cord and you'll find it easy to flip out of the way, instead of having it constantly wrestling with you.

I bought a heavy duty extension cord. It works just fine. Powerful. I love it.

Short cord, don't drop it, I had one stop working after a light fall. It's pretty smooth and quite though. I won't buy anything else.

I am sorry I can't answer. I got "side-tracked" ( don't all crafters once in a while?). Will use the paracord later.Dee
