Paracord Rothco Micro Cord 95lb — Coyote Brown

The Rothco Micro Cord is a nylon cord with a 1.5 mm diameter and 30 metres of length, rated at a breaking strength of 95 lb (approx. 43 kg). Made in the USA, it comes on a ready-to-use spool and is designed for anyone who needs a thin yet reliable cord for outdoor activities, hunting, or professional use.

The 1.5 mm diameter is what sets this cord apart from standard 550 paracord: it takes up less space in a pocket or kit, sits more discreetly, and ties off with greater precision on small objects. The trade-off is the reduced cross-section, which lowers the breaking load compared to larger formats. With 43 kg of strength it suits lashing, shelter guying, gear repairs and similar tasks, but is not intended for dynamic loads or suspending people.

The 30 metres on a compact spool provide enough reserve for most field applications without adding unnecessary bulk. The 100% nylon construction offers good moisture resistance and retains flexibility even after repeated wet-dry cycles — a relevant quality for those operating in variable conditions.

Key features

• The 1.5 mm diameter allows precise ties on small attachments and loops where standard paracord would be too bulky.
• A 43 kg breaking strength covers typical field needs — lashing, repairs, shelter rigging — while remaining within limits that should not be exceeded with dynamic loads.
• Thirty metres on a compact spool: enough for most situations without overloading the kit.
• 100% nylon, USA-made construction with good tolerance to moisture and wet-dry cycles.
• Coyote Brown colour integrates easily with most gear in camouflage or neutral palettes.
