Mero 550 Paracord - 100' 550 lb Turquoise

The Mero 550 Paracord in 100-foot length with 550-pound breaking strength is a military-grade survival and tactical cordage system derived from the original parachute cord developed for airborne operations during World War II. This turquoise-colored paracord features a seven-strand core wrapped in a 32-strand woven sheath, delivering the high tensile strength and durability required for field use, emergency preparedness, and outdoor applications where reliable rope performance is non-negotiable.

At 550-pound test, this paracord meets the standard specification for tactical and survival paracord applications. The removable 7-strand core can be deployed independently in survival scenarios when additional cordage or improvised gear is needed. The quick-drying, rot-resistant construction ensures reliable performance in wet environments and extended storage without degradation. The vibrant turquoise color improves visibility when setting traps, securing gear, or marking terrain—a practical advantage over neutral tones in wilderness environments where locating your cordage matters.

This 100-foot length serves backpackers, emergency preparedness kits, tactical load-outs, and general outdoor use where a compact but substantial cordage reserve is essential. The commercial-grade braid construction makes it suitable for securing tarps, rigging repairs, equipment recovery, and countless field improvisation tasks. Outdoorsmen, bushcraft enthusiasts, emergency responders, and homesteaders stock paracord as a foundational survival tool—this turquoise variant provides the same proven performance while offering enhanced visibility and a distinctive appearance.
