Check out this neck strap, i have been using it for three years no neck pain the weight is distributed to shoulders
available on amazon. I had to stop using the old single around the neck strap was causing problem with my neck.
my harness has a plastic hook.
If you look on the website that sells my harness,
this is what it says about the various hooks that you can select with the harness
The Plastic Hook breaks at about 125 pounds (56 kg).
The Metal Hook breaks at about 133 pounds (60 kg).
The Plastic covered Metal Hook starts to bend open at about 75 pounds (34 kg).
Mine has the plastic hook, seems to be pretty strong, so far so good….and the shoulder pads add to the comfort of the Harness. Played at a Christmas party the other day and had the Sax on it for a number of hours no problem!
