275 paracord (Read 106 times)

It's only 2mm thick but very strong, and extremely rigid for what it is. It's the tighest braided cord I've bought so far. Still need to make a sling with it. holding it up straight:

It offers very good twist/tangle resistance With regard to synthetics I don't think I will go back to 550 after this It will probably soften a little over time as the fibers stretch from use.

Another paracord size I wasn't aware of. I just found out about 425 a few months ago (sling from NOC).

I'll get some 275 and give it a try. After getting the sling from NOC, I ordered some 425. I've only made one sling with it so far. I like 425 with the asymmetrical pouch that he uses. But for a symmetrical pouch that I normally make, I think I like 550 better. I only have the sling I got from him and the one I made, so the sample size is very small. Still a lot of experimentation to go. I'll definitely give the 275 a try.

FYI There is also a 325 size. I haven’t tried it yet either.

I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler
