550 Paracord is extremely versatile and useful, making it a utility tool that’s great for survival situations and everyday use. That raises the question: is 550 paracord waterproof, or do they shrink when submerged under water?
What happens when 550 paracord get wet?
Cams Cords stocks genuine USA manufactured 550 paracord in two types - 100% nylon and a polyester range. To simplify, paracord is a type of rope: that means that yes, they can get wet. They’re not waterproof and won’t deflect water droplets that splash onto them.
However, 550 paracord is still safe to use when wet. Being wet will not damage the paracord so it won’t have any adverse effects to the paracord’s durability.
If you’re taking a shower or going underwater with a paracord bracelet, there’s no need to worry about the bracelet being damaged by the water. In fact, this is the easiest way to keep it clean and looking like new.
Paracord that becomes wet from water may shrink slightly, but this is not something that will prevent you from using the paracord in your desired way.
550 Paracord is very sturdy
If you opt for 550 paracord from Cams Cords, you’ll get a trusty paracord that is essentially all-purpose. You can use paracord to make fishing lines, paracord bracelets for survival, key fobs, zip pulls, lanyards, decorative knotting, hiking or walking stick wraps, and much, much more.
550 paracord is strong, even when used wet and is mildew resistant.
