Legit Paracord Vendors

[Superdoo]

Anybody want to help my find a place to buy real paracord? The internet is a bastion for folks selling knock-offs. I just want to buy some good cord that won’t fail the first time I use it. I’d prefer a bright color and reflective, but it’s not a must.

Tough Grid hasn’t let me down, but I’ll throw another vote at Paracord Planet too.

Thanks guys. I knew this would be a simple thread, but I couldn’t find the answer when I searched. So I’m hoping this will be helpful for others too.

Not to hijack OP's post but on the same note, does anyone know how to tell "legit" mil spec paracord from the fake stuff without trying something heavy up and having the line snap?

Just bought a spool from amazon and it looks ok but has maybe a little less width than the paracord I'm used to buying.

Real paracord is made in USA
Atwood Rope is the legit manufacturer of USA made cord and rope.

The micro cord is another great product, a little less bulky than paracord for things like tent guys, etc.

I'm no expert on this, but I always referred to it as 550 cord. Used a lot when I was in the army for securing gear to packs or your LBE. Even in the early 90s there was knock off cord. It had some fuzzy white interior and not the 5 single strands of white cord in the green housing.

X2 on lawson equipment! They have thin reflective cord with impressive load ratings along with other little useful gadgets.

Join the Air Force and you'll have real paracord for days.

I bought an actual parachute at an army surplus store a few years back... and just keeping a parachute in the truck has been amazing. I've used it as a tent footprint on gravel/rocky ground, a shade, a rain cover, a cushion for hauling stuff, etc. And it came with several hundred feet of ACTUAL paracord... which I've been snipping off as needed over time.
