Originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during World War II, 550-lb test paracord flexes but will never break. Worn around your neck or as a sling, the strap’s suspension shields your camera from shocks when you inattentively jump off rocks. The strap’s sturdy nylon webbing with a suede lining wears soft against your sun-burnt neck and easily supports the heaviest SLR and long-lens combos.
