Minicord type I 275 First Division®: robust, lightweight and reliable 50 m paracord

Description

Minicord: the compact microcord for all your outdoor challenges

The result of First Division® European know-how, the Minicord type I 275 packs the strength of a military paracord into a minimalist format. With its 97 kg tensile strength and just 0.1 kg on the scales, it fits in a pocket, unrolls in the blink of an eye and provides secure fastenings for every camping trip, bivouac or tactical operation.
