Overview
The Spud Inc Neck Harness is a heavy-duty training tool designed to build a "freaky strong" neck with maximum comfort and durability. Constructed from high-strength 1-inch webbing, this harness is far more flexible and comfortable than traditional leather options. It is engineered to perform standard weighted neck extensions and is versatile enough for creative applications, such as pulling sleds or attaching resistance bands and chains. Its adjustable design ensures it can fit a wide range of head sizes for athletes in contact sports and powerlifting.

Performance Benefits
Soft Webbing Advantage: Unlike rigid leather harnesses that can pinch the skin or create pressure points, the soft nylon webbing conforms to the head, allowing for a more focused workout.
Multi-Use Training: Primarily used for neck isolation exercises, it can also serve as an anchor for forward-leaning sled pulls or reactive resistance drills using bands.
Durability: Built to Spud Inc’s "industrial" standards, the webbing is designed to withstand extreme tension without fraying or breaking.
Improved Posture & Stability: Regular use helps strengthen the cervical spine stabilizers, which is essential for athletes in football, wrestling, and MMA.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Hand wash the harness with cold water and mild detergent if it becomes saturated with sweat. Air dry completely before use.
Velcro Care: Periodically inspect the hook-and-loop fasteners for lint or hair buildup. Clearing the hooks will ensure the harness remains securely fastened under heavy loads.
Webbing Inspection: Regularly check the attachment loops and structural seams for signs of fraying. Discontinue use if the stitching appears compromised.
Storage: Store in a dry environment. Avoid leaving the harness in direct sunlight for long periods, as UV exposure can eventually degrade nylon fibers.
Warranty Information
Manufacturer Warranty: Spud Inc products are backed by their reputation for nearly "unbreakable" gear. Rogue Fitness typically offers a 90-day warranty against manufacturing defects such as stitching failure. For long-term structural issues, customers may contact Spud Inc directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it come with the chain and carabiner?
A: Typically, the harness is sold as the webbing unit only. Check the "included" section or dropdown menu on the product page to see if a chain set is currently bundled.
Q: Is this better than a leather neck harness?
A: Many athletes prefer the Spud Inc version because the soft webbing does not "dig" into the scalp or ears like stiff leather often does.
Q: Can I use this for sled pulls?
A: Yes. The harness is strong enough to serve as a head-anchor for light to moderate sled dragging, which is a common drill for developing neck and upper back strength in field athletes.
Q: How heavy can I load this harness?
A: While the webbing is industrial strength, neck training should always prioritize high volume and controlled movement over maximum weight. Most users find 10-45 lbs to be more than sufficient for effective training.
