Built for the jobsite and the trail, Adventure Andy Unbreakable Boot Laces are braided from 12 strands of UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene), the same fiber used in modern combat helmets. Pound for pound they're about 15 times stronger than steel and tougher than Kevlar, yet lighter than cotton. A waxed polyester outer jacket grips your knot so it stays tied all day.
