Paracord Planet Glow-in-the-Dark Micro Cord – 125 ft, 1.18mm, Reflective Imperial Red

Overview

Meet the Glow-in-the-Dark Micro Cord from Paracord Planet, a compact option designed for crafting and quick field fixes. At 1.18 mm in diameter and 125 feet on a spool, this nylon braid cord delivers a lean, sturdy alternative to larger paracords while keeping color and glow characteristics vibrant.

Smaller than standard 275, 425, or 550 paracord, this micro cord sits about the thickness of a window blind string yet carries everyday resilience. The 16-fiber sheath contributes to a smooth wrap, with an impressive 85 lb tensile strength that helps maintain shape under typical loads in DIY projects, repairs, or survival kits.

Glow and reflectivity

Two engaging visual traits set this micro cord apart. First, the glow-in-the-dark option shines bright after lights go out, providing a gentle, easy-to-follow line for nighttime use or dim environments. Second, reflective tracers embedded along the length catch flashes of light, helping the line stand out when a beam sweeps across it. Together, these features offer practical visibility in low-light situations without relying on added hardware.
