Looking for a neck strap for my TG

My TG-6 came with a wrist strap...but for me this isn't practical and I need a neck strap.

I initially did purchase this:

It almost worked great, but was incredibly cheap...the main metal connection snapped...and then later the backup plastic connection also snapped.  I do a lot of kayaking and need something secure that I know won't break...yet comfortable and can be hung around my neck for a long period of time.

Ideas?

There is no way to attach a neck strap to the camera as there is no second eyelet for it.  I guess you could make a close loop strap and attach it to the one that is used for the wrist strap.  But that might be very awkward and leave the camera too loose on your body.

Thanks for the reply.  Yeah, I know you can't make a proper looped neck strap, but you could attached both ends to the same eyelet.  This actually worked ok with the previous strap...sometimes it spins a bit...but it wasn't too bad and I was fine with the concept.  My only concern is durability...I can't have this breaking when active.
