Slide 1 is neutral, 2 is the maximum range of motion if standing straight up, and 3 it makes a tiny bit of contact if I push my shoulders forward.

Shouldn’t you ask this in the store?
Hinge forward at the waist (like you’re on a bike), then look forward (like you’re on a bike). Any difference?
Along with trying to assess if its setup right, make sure you can look around and especially in a riding position. I had one thought i had it set up right. On my first lap, I learned i couldn’t turn my head to look through a corner. It was mind of scary a d super annoying. In my head i was like, “I hope this thing works because im gonna crash with it on. I tried adjusting it and couldn’t get it right. Dropped it off at the car and returned it the next day.
Looks quite good but it would help to see where the chest pads rest. The shoulder pads sit quite well but maybe you can push it a bit further back.
Edit: i never talked with anyone who wears neck brace so this is only my experience: Sometimes on big hits when I absorb a lot of the impact with my body by getting low the back of the brace taps the helmet so just fyi.
Hot take but if you think your riding needs a neck brace you should be wearing a proper DH full face helmet and not a lightweight “Enduro” full face.
The lightweight helmet are great (I have one) but if you are smashing out DH laps why not get the helmet that will give you the best protection. I save my lightweight DH helmet for pedal laps where I want protection or shuttle days where there’s pedaling involved.
I barely touch the rear of my helmet to my neck brace. It’s a little stretch to get there, which is good. When I’m in a tight corner, lifting my chin to see the exit, I don’t want any contact with the brace.
It’s supposed to stop injury not stop movement. It looks like it’s a great fit and will be there when you really need it.
Yep. We’ve all spent too much time in front of a computer.
That’s correct.
They design them with more room to go back, so it doesn’t interfere when you’re in attack position and have to look “up” to see the trail.
The main thing with the adjustments is to make sure the 4 pads (2 shoulder, 1 chest, 1 back) all sit flat on your body with no gap. You want the force spread over the entire pad, not just an edge.
