If it improves my odds, it is well worth it.
After riding several times with this, I finally feel I can provide a real review. The concept makes sense to me and I will take every advantage I can get. I ride ful protection all the time and I now view this as just another critical piece of essential gear. It fit fine right out of the box and I was surprised at how unobtrusive it is while riding. I rode some twisties today and felt no restrictions. The Jason Britton model is a little more subtle as it is all black.

Expensive but potential good benefit.
Of course not cheap. Good quality. Takes time to adjust the first time. Need to get used to ryding. There is some limitation to looking back and you need to rotate your thorax more than before. Hopefully never get to see if it works or not. Feel a bit like an idiot next to other ryders but with the black jacket is less noticeable.

so far so good
The build quality is solid. There are bunches of different ways to adjust for best fit. The instructions are clear. I'm not sure if it's worth the price, but I know I feel better wearing it so justify it the same way I justify a nice helmet. It comes in 2 pieces which could be a pain for someone with a big head. I'm a 7 1/2 for a hat (I think) and I can just get it over my head. If my head was another half inch wider I'd have to put it together around my neck (not necessarily a bad think as It would probably only take about 10 seconds to clip it together). I’m a 42 short in a suit jacket. I bought the L/XL and wound up extending it with the large clips. It comes with medium clips already attached. I like looking back sometimes when changing lanes. It does restrict a full twist of the head, but not enough to wear it’s a big deal. I’m very pleased and would recommend it. I commute about 80 miles a day in traffic and like the peace of mind. I hope I never have to test it.

You won't notice you are wearing it.
I used the Leatt STX all summer and barely noticed it. A few things to keep in mind. First, you have to wear a full-face helmet for this to work. If you take the time to size it correctly using the enclosed chart, it is easy to slip on and off. Second, make sure if you have back armor that the Leatt STX is sized to rest on top of it. I had trouble a few times with the Leatt butting up against the edge of my back armor and then riding too high, instead of resting on top of my back armor and sitting in its natural position. Second, make sure that the brace makes contact with your helmet when you reach the limit of your head's natural range of motion, not before or after. This just takes some time to size correctly which you only have to do once.
