Description

Helikon-Tex Micro Cord, 125 ft

Helikon-Tex Micro Cord is a thin, lightweight and compact braided nylon utility cord designed for outdoor, bushcraft, emergency, home and workshop use. With a diameter of only 3/64 in / 1.18 mm, it is easy to carry and store while still offering a useful tensile strength of 100 lb / 46 kg.

This modern micro cord is a practical addition to any backpack, survival kit, repair kit, vehicle kit or tool box. It is suitable for many small cordage tasks where full-size paracord or thicker tactical cord would be unnecessarily bulky.

The cord comes neatly wound on a small reusable plastic spool, helping keep it organised and ready for use. Made from 100% nylon, it is UV and rot resistant, with long-lasting colours designed not to fade or bleed easily.

Compact Cordage for Everyday and Field Use

Micro Cord is designed for tasks where a strong but very thin cord is useful. Its compact size makes it easy to carry every day, whether in an outdoor backpack, emergency pouch, vehicle kit, tool box or garage drawer.

It is well suited for small tying tasks, gear organisation, lightweight repairs, crafting, lashing small items, making pull loops and other utility applications where thicker cord would be inconvenient.

Thin, Strong and Lightweight

Despite its small diameter, Helikon-Tex Micro Cord offers a tensile strength of 100 lb / 46 kg. This makes it useful for many lightweight outdoor and repair tasks while keeping bulk and weight to a minimum.

At approximately 39 g per spool, it is easy to add to an emergency kit or bushcraft setup without noticeably increasing carried weight.

Reusable Plastic Spool

The cord is supplied neatly wound on a compact reusable plastic spool. This helps prevent tangles and makes it easier to dispense only the length needed for the task.

The spool format is especially practical for field repairs, fishing kits, emergency kits and workshop storage.

Durable Nylon Material

The cord is made from 100% nylon, a material valued for flexibility, strength and outdoor durability. It is resistant to UV exposure and rot, helping it remain dependable in outdoor and damp environments.

The colours are designed to remain stable and not fade or bleed easily during normal use.
