Are all Leupold neck straps "weak"?

I recently got a pair of Leupold 8x32 Gold Ring non-HD binocs and the neck strap that came with them was actually intended for their small compact spotter. I called Leupold and they sent me a replacement strap but it also is a narrow/stretchy strap that doesn't appear to be suited for a hefty 27oz binocular.

I was really expecting/hoping for something a bit more comfortable to carry these binocs - are all Leupold neck straps on the small side? Thanks.

TP:

I have a recent pair of Yosemites, and it came with a neoprene strap, with narrow straps. I find it quite nice, as I like mine kept short, and the quality
is good, I like the suspension to it, and rate it very good.

I hope you can get yours to work for you.
