La cantidad de cuerda es menor. Yo quería la unidad de 30 m como en la foto y recibí 15.

    It's awesome Paracord. What else could you expect.
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on 28 July 2020*

It's not as silver as I was wanting but how can you really make a silver. Anyway it is well packaged and arrived with no issues. I used it to make custom grab handles for a fellow Jeep guy who requested black and silver if possible. He is peased with the pictures and can't wait to get them and put them on. The bow shackles were also sourced from Amazon. Just search 1/4" bow shackle and pick which one works best for you.

    First time buying this brand. Very pleased
  

*by P***H on Reviewed in the United States on 1 February 2015*

First time purchasing this brand of paracord. Upon first use, I realized that the outer material is a lot tighter and more slick than the other paracord I have used. This feels better in a way than the others. Customers who have bought my paracord gear have told me that it feels more comfortable on their wrists than other stuff. While I was actually making the bracelets and lanyards I realized that this stuff likes to slide and has less friction than other paracord, so make sure you keep it tight and finish it properly.
