The strongest Made in USA cord! TIGER paracord

Hello. I’m Kayaba from the ApparelX trend blog.

Today, I’d like to introduce a newly listed manufacturer’s products.

TIGER

This brand is a little unusual within ApparelX. It is not a brand dedicated only to cords, but rather the brand name used by Maruko Co., Ltd. for a wide range of outdoor and survival gear. (paracord, related hardware, LED lights, first-aid supplies, footwear powder, etc.)

Among these, we have listed American-made paracord products on ApparelX.

What is paracord?

Inside paracord, there are 7 core strands made of nylon-based fibers, which give it a strength that can withstand 550 pounds (250 kg).

It was originally developed for military use by soldiers, so it is extremely durable.

Many uses

Originally a material used for outdoor and camping goods, it was often used in men’s bags and gear, but recently it has been widely used by both men and women for hoodie drawstrings, bag handles, smartphone shoulder straps, hats, and more. 

We also asked the sales staff, and it seems to be used in a great many pet products as well. (mainly collars, leashes, etc.)

According to the materials we received, its uses are very diverse, including not only tent and tarp setups, but also hammock suspension cords, clotheslines, and cords for bundling luggage.

In addition, the inner threads can be pulled out one by one, and those threads can also be used as fishing line or sewing thread. It seems that the U.S. website even introduces uses that make you wonder if they’re really true.

Features of the American-made version

American-made paracord does not fade or bleed color, so you can enjoy the same color for a long time. As mentioned earlier, its load capacity is 250 kg, so breakage due to age-related deterioration is rare, and the person in charge also said, [We have handled it for over 10 years, but we have never heard of a case where it broke.]

It also comes in a wide variety of colors, and with such high colorfastness, this is a cord you’ll likely grow even more attached to the longer you use it.
