Default Best XLRs ?

Short of dumping my clumsy client-base, any suggestions of the best
(and hopefully affordable) brand/model XLRs that can survive stage-use ?

I think the worst use is on stage monitors where monitors get moved or
cables tripped on...

I don't use much besides premade XLRs outside of the house any more,
but I kind of like the Neutrik NC-FXX style. If it's not enough strain
relief, add shrink tubing.



Yeah have some of those. It's not a case of "not enough strain-relief,
but of that existing strain-relief snapping off !

Some judicious heat-shrink might help, but I am hoping for something
that just survives the rigours natively.
