    Premium paracord
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2015*

(I bought this product, though in a different colour.  Therefore I have posted my review here too - which Amazon allows - in case someone finds it useful and otherwise might miss it).Some people have said that some paracords are not 'proper' paracord based on their relatively low breaking strain.  This seems to be a misunderstanding.  There are various grades of paracord, all with different breaking strains - Type I, IA, II, IIA, III and IV, with a *minimum* breaking strength ranging from approximately 43 to 340 kg (Type I and Type IV respectively).This "Wild Elk" paracord is the second highest rating - type III (the seller claims a breaking strain in excess of 250kg). It is far stronger than many paracord alternatives.  I have found it very useful and have yet to snap it.At the same time, I bought

   (also see

  ) for situations where I do not need a high breaking strength.  It costs half the price per metre but has a far lower breaking strain (a *maximum* of 70kg according to the seller as opposed to Wild Elk's advertised *minimum* of 250kg) - this cheaper alternative appears to be Type I or Type IA.  Beware the word "maximum" - I can imagine people weighing 60kg thinking it is safe to be suspended by it.  By buying both, I don't waste this premium paracord on light duty needs.You may be interested to know that there is a reflective version of it although only in black, orange & brown, and it can be a bit lumpy (less suitable for making bracelets):
