Not tightly woven? I guess you are talking about braided paracord then, this is the cord I'd buy as paracord:
Tightly woven sheath, strong core. Pretty good abrasion resistance.
I should clarify, paracord is not as tightly woven and does not have as firm core/sheath fit as the 3/16" polyester cords that #JeffGu and #Tuebor posted. The 3/16" is thicker than standard paracord and seems to have a relatively heavier/tight cover, it is much more firm therefore more fiber per the 3/16" diameter. It is very good for the use you described, it will last much longer than paracord. Paracord is fine, it just doesn't hold up as well over time.
