Spectra Cord
Ultra-lightweight, high-strength cordage designed for outdoor, boating, survival, emergency, and general utility applications.
Ultra-Light UHMW Utility Cord
Spectra Cord is made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW), a strong and lightweight synthetic fiber suited to demanding outdoor and emergency utility applications.
At only approximately 0.9 ounce per 100 feet, it delivers a listed 350-pound breaking strength while remaining extremely compact and portable. Its buoyant construction also allows it to float on water.
350 lb Breaking Strength
High strength relative to its extremely low weight makes Spectra Cord useful for securing gear, tying down tarps, repairs, and other demanding utility tasks.
Ultra-Lightweight
A full 100-foot length weighs approximately 0.9 ounce, making it easy to add substantial cordage capacity without adding significant pack weight.
Buoyant on Water
The cord floats, making it especially useful for boating, water sports, marine kits, and situations where easy retrieval from water matters.
High-Visibility Tracer
White cord with a black polyester tracer provides a distinctive appearance and helps make the cord easier to identify in a kit or low-light environment.
