Product description
High-strength 850 lb parachute cord: Constructed with an abrasion-resistant 32-strand braided outer sheath and an 11-strand inner core, this paracord is tested to a minimum breaking strength of 850 lbs (386 kg). The cord measures approximately 4 mm in diameter and offers a soft, smooth feel that makes knots easy to tie and work with. The inner yarns are removable for use as thinner cordage or for lashing small items.
Reflective safety feature: Integrated reflective filaments run through the cord so it picks up light in low-light conditions, helping you spot guylines, clotheslines or markers at night. The material is treated for UV and fade resistance, and the weave is designed to resist fraying under normal friction and use.
Packaging and lengths: This paracord is available in multiple lengths — 50 ft and 100 ft come wrapped on cardboard spools for compact storage, while 200 ft, 500 ft and 1,000 ft lengths are wound on cylinders and supplied with a black storage bag to keep long reels tidy and tangle-free.
Intended uses: Ideal for outdoor pursuits such as camping, hiking, fishing, boating and survival kits. It works well for tent guylines, hammock suspension (as secondary support), clotheslines, bundling, emergency lashings, and as raw material for DIY items like survival bracelets, paracord dog collars, leashes, or replacement shoelaces.
Handling and care: The cord cuts cleanly and reseals with heat to prevent unraveling; the outer sheath is designed to handle abrasion while remaining reasonably flexible. The product is soft enough to manipulate but robust enough for typical campsite and utility tasks.
Warranty and quality control: Each length undergoes quality inspection to meet the stated specifications. The manufacturer offers a lifetime-quality commitment and customer support for issues, emphasizing customer satisfaction and product reliability.

Good, strong, and sturdy rope.

Pacific Coast HunterZ 5/5
Top-notch reflective cord — very solid construction
I inspected this reflective paracord closely and it exceeded my expectations. The weave is tight, the threads feel substantial, and the reflective fibers are embedded throughout rather than applied on the surface. The 850 lb rating seems credible based on the build and no weak sections were evident across the length I tested.

Reflective element not as strong as expected
Nice paracord overall, but I didn’t see much reflectivity under a white flashlight or UV light. The feature is present but subtle.

Solid and tangle-free
Very strong and matches the description. Professional feel, easy to handle, and it didn’t tangle during use.

James 5/5
Does the job — held my flag up well
Delivered as advertised and seems durable. The green color looks good and the tiny reflective flecks help locate the line at night, though they aren’t blindingly visible. It’s held my flag through wind without loosening.

Trevin 4/5
Good performance for the cost
Pleasantly surprised by the build. Material felt sturdy for general tasks and cut cleanly. I recommend melting the ends after cutting, as with any paracord. Durable and dependable overall.

Strong, flexible, and useful after dark
Quality cord that balances durability with workable flexibility. Reflective strands show up clearly when light strikes them, knots hold well, and the cord doesn’t fray if ends are sealed. Great for camping lines, gear tie-downs, and DIY projects.
