Our Verdict

Cordage is useful, versatile and handy on almost every backpacking trip. Perfect for; setting up tarps, hammocks, and impromptu shelters, as emergency lashings to attach kit, or if your boot laces fail.

The braided inner cord can be used as a fishing line or for sewing in a survival situation. Wrapping a few meters of cord around a knife hilt or trekking pole will ensure you have some Paracord close at hand should you need it.
