Special construction using a lightweight nylon kernmantle sheath (550 Paracord) originally used in the suspension lines of parachutes.
This cord is abrasion resistant due to the high number of interwoven strands for its size giving it a relatively smooth texture.
This inner core is 100% Kevlar® which has an operating temperatures from minus 50°F to plus 500°F and a disintegration temperature of 900°F.
Each strand of Kevlar® has a tensile strength of 200lb.

There are two types available:

K72 Double Strand 705 (2 inner strands of Kevlar®)
K72 Quad Strand 1105 (4 inner strands of Kevlar®)

The ends of the laces are finished with black metal tips (aglets)
These can be prised open to access the inner Kevlar® strands if required.
With the strands removed the outer boot lace sheath has a tensile strength of 305lb and can continue to be used as a boot lace.

The standard length of each lace is 72 inches (6ft) and these can be custom made to size
Available in any 550 Paracord colour - 89 colours
