How to Adjust the Straps on the Flow Quattro
Flow bindings have a cult following. The unconventional, uni-body strap provides superb hold without the added bulkiness found in other brands. Flow Quattros are designed for skiers desiring a flexible yet supportive binding that adapts to everything from icy halfpipes to steep mountain terrain. Initial strap setup is simple. Once you have them dialed, minimal on-hill adjustments are needed.

Tips & Warnings
After a few weeks of riding, you may need to tighten your ratchets. The straps will stretch as the bindings break in.
