The TAC SHIELD® 550 Cord (200 ft) is a Type III braided nylon utility cord designed for outdoor, tactical, and general-purpose use. It features a seven-strand inner core that exceeds the standard 550 lb rating, with typical breaking strength tested above 700 lbs, providing reliable load-bearing performance. The tightly braided outer sheath offers high abrasion resistance for durability in rugged environments, while the internal strands can be separated for finer tasks such as repairs, lashing, or emergency applications. This cord balances strength and flexibility for secure knotting and consistent handling, making it suitable for camping, survival, gear retention, and other field uses.
