The problem isn't really total weight, it's unbalanced weight. For comparison, see the BoboVR head straps for the Quest (https://www.bobovr.com/products/s3-pro), which look ridiculous and add a lot of total weight (especially with a battery), but are actually more comfortable than not having it, because they spread out and counterbalance the weight of the headset.

The Dual Knit Band may help AVP comfort, but I'm skeptical. To have a significant benefit it would need to have much stiffer side support so that the entire thing can lever the weight of the headset upwards and pull the center of gravity way back from the face.
