I must have the adventure one - I bought it from Bath road BMW, Bristol a couple of years ago.
It really does not interfere with your riding even at 45'c, and as a surgeon I genuinely think it is an advance. Once air-born off your bike in a crash you have lost control and are relying on physics - it takes 5lb of force to break your neck. So you gotta ask yourself "do you feel lucky - well punk!" ;-)
If you look at racing car drivers these days they all have neck braces to prevent forward flexion - that was developed in the states. One crusty old driver poo pooed the notion and soon after crashed into the wall and pithed himself (as in died severing his hindbrain) - thereafter all the drivers wore one.
all very well and good in races but on the road could never happen.
HOW THE FECK WOULD YOU DO YOUR LIFESAVERS

Anyone who would reject safety gear simply because they feared it made them "look like a twat" probably is a twat who hopes to remain undiscovered. I for one would rather "look like a twat" than spend the rest of my life in a wheel chair... or worse. My guess is that we will see neck braces gain acceptance and wide use on the road in the years ahead. When I started riding back in the day, nobody wore a helmet on the road.
