Paracord Rothco Micro Cord 95lb — Green

The Rothco Micro Cord is a thin paracord with a diameter of 1.5 mm and a length of 30 metres, made in the United States from 100% nylon. With a breaking strength of 95 lb (approx. 43 kg), it sits at the lighter end of the paracord range and is designed for applications where weight and bulk matter: lashing, field repairs, building camouflage nets, and securing kit to rucksacks and tarps.

The 1.5 mm diameter strikes the right balance between strength and low profile. Compared to standard 550 paracord, the Micro Cord takes up less room in your kit and weighs less for the same length carried, while the 43 kg breaking strength is adequate for securing and light utility tasks – not for structural loads or person suspension. If you want a cord always to hand, coiled in a pocket or wrapped around a handle, this is the right material; for heavy loads, a higher-category paracord should be considered.

The nylon construction offers good resistance to abrasion and moisture compared to natural fibres – a relevant advantage during extended field use. The 30-metre spool comes pre-wound for tidy storage and tangle-free dispensing.
