A link or slide for a garment strap includes mutually parallel longitudinal bars and a pair of opposing transverse bars each forming a juncture with ends of the longitudinal bars. The transverse bars curve forward from the junctures away from the rear of the longitudinal bars, reducing potential discomfort to an active wearer. In embodiments, the link is formed of resilient material and the link thickness tapers to a minimum at the junctures, forming flexible zones which provide added comfort. In additional embodiments, the longitudinal bars have angled edges adjoining slots through which the garment strap passes. The angled edges resist undesirable motion of the strap, especially while the wearer is exercising.

A neck strap force distribution device includes a first surface disposed facing a back of a neck of a user and a second surface disposed opposite the first surface. It further includes a pair of entry holes from the first surface to the second surface disposed approximately one-third of a vertical length of the device from an upper edge of the device. At least one exit hole from the second surface to the first surface is disposed approximately one-third of the vertical length of the device from a lower edge of the device. The first surface comprises a pliable material that at least partially conforms to the back of the neck of the user, and the second surface resists movement of a garment string that passes from the first surface through one of the pair of entry holes over the second surface and through the exit hole.
