What is paracord?
Paracord is a type of nylon rope originally used in parachutes. The material is known for being strong, flexible, and durable.
Today, paracord is used in many types of outdoor gear because it can withstand stress, weather, and prolonged use.
This also makes it a good material for dog collars.
A durable material
One of the main reasons we use paracord in Snøglimt collars is the strength of the material.
Paracord is made to withstand stress, and when several strands are braided or knotted together, the construction becomes even stronger.
For a dog collar, this means that it:
-
withstands daily use
-
works well on walks
-
maintains its shape over time
Flexible and comfortable
A collar should not only be strong. It must also be comfortable for the dog.
Paracord offers a certain flexibility in its construction, allowing the collar to move naturally around the dog's neck.
This provides a good balance between strength and comfort.
Hand-knotted construction
Many paracord collars are made by knotting or braiding the rope in various patterns.
This offers several advantages:
-
even distribution of stress
-
thicker construction
-
better grip of the material
At the same time, it makes each collar a little unique.
Suitable for hiking and outdoor life
Snøglimt is inspired by hiking and nature, which is why it's important that the materials perform well outdoors.
Paracord withstands:
-
moisture
-
cold
-
friction
-
active use
This makes it well-suited for dogs who spend a lot of time outdoors in forests, mountains, and on hikes.
A material that lasts
Our goal is to create dog gear that can be used for a long time.
When a collar is made with solid materials and good construction, it can accompany the dog through many walks and experiences.
Therefore, paracord has become a natural choice for many Snøglimt products.
