What Are FASE Bindings?
FASE bindings are all about making strapping in faster, easier, and way less annoying — without giving up control or performance.
Instead of sitting down and fiddling with ratchets every run, FASE bindings use a fast-entry system that lets you get your foot in quickly and lock it down in one smooth motion. You still get a proper two-strap feel and response — just without the usual hassle.
They’re designed for riders who want:
-
Quicker entry and exit
-
Less time stopped on the hill
-
The same locked-in feel as a traditional binding
Once your straps are set, you don’t need to constantly re-adjust them. Step in, secure, and go.
How They Ride
FASE bindings don’t feel “loose” or gimmicky. They ride like a normal high-quality snowboard binding — solid heel hold, good response edge-to-edge, and confidence when you’re pushing harder.
They’re great for:
-
Resort riding
-
Lapping lifts
-
Riders who hate sitting down to strap in
-
Anyone who wants efficiency without compromise
Who They’re For
If you like the idea of fast entry but don’t want to give up performance, FASE bindings hit the sweet spot. They’re especially popular with riders who just want to keep moving and spend more time riding, less time messing around.
Fast in. Locked down. Ride on.

FASE FAQ
How do I get-in?
Simply insert your boot into the binding until it rests against the toe strap, then push your heel down. The AutoBack automatically closes around your boot while the Locked-In Toe Strap stays in place. Finally, buckle the FastStrap with one hand just like you normally would.
How do I get out?
To get out, release the FastStrap buckle and slide it to the end of the ladder. Then bend your knee slightly, lift your heel, and the AutoBack will naturally open to release your boot.
Is the FASE Fast Entry System trusted by pro riders?
Yes! Pro riders like Scott Stevens, Jeremy Jones, Pat Fava, Victor de Le Rue, Tor Lundstrom, and Ståle Sandbech trust the FASE Fast Entry System to excel in their everyday riding and push the limits of performance on the mountain.
Is it really compatible with any brand of snowboard boots?
Absolutely! The FASE Fast Entry System works seamlessly with all snowboard boots on the market.
What kind of rider is the FASE Fast Entry System designed for?
The FASE Fast Entry System is for all riders, from seasoned pros to first season rippers, every condition and any terrain. Check out our brand partners to find your perfect binding.
Does the FASE Fast Entry System work in deep powder?
It certainly does. Obviously in deeper snow, it’s important to take a moment to remove snow from your bindings before getting ready to strap-in, as the FASE Fast Entry System is mountain-tested and deep snow is not a problem.
Does the FASE Fast Entry System work in steep terrain?
Yes. The system is designed to perform in every condition and on any terrain. In the rare case (less than 1% of situations) where the terrain makes entry tricky, you can simply unstrap both straps and strap in just like a traditional binding.
What type of terrain or conditions is the FASE Fast Entry System designed for?
The FASE Fast Entry System is designed for any condition and every terrain, from peak to park, powder to piste. Explore our brand partners to find the perfect binding for your riding style.
Is the FASE Fast Entry System safe?
The FASE Fast Entry System is incredibly safe. It is as secure and safe as existing two-strap binding models and has undergone thousands of hours of on-snow testing and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
Is the FASE Fast Entry System durable?
Yes, it’s built to withstand all terrain and conditions! The minimal mechanism has been rigorously tested for over seven years and is trusted by pro riders. Plus, the system comes with a lifetime* warranty.
How much does it weigh?
The FASE Fast Entry System is designed to seamlessly integrate into our partner brands’ bindings, keeping them comparable in weight to existing high-end two-strap models. The system is extremely minimalistic and weighs 40 g (1.4 oz). For example, the Jones Mercury FASE in size Medium weighs 870 g (30 oz), making it fully comparable to any traditional binding on the market.
Can I adjust my forward lean, heel cup, or other settings?
The FASE system focuses on the entry/exit mechanism. For binding adjustment options, please refer to our brand partners’ bindings.
Do I really only need to use one hand to strap-in?
Absolutely! Thanks to our specially designed extra-long FastStrap ladder, which remains attached, strapping in with one hand is effortless for every rider.
Do I need to press any levers to get out?
No, just open the straps and remove your boot as you normally would. We’ve streamlined the process, eliminating unnecessary steps and keeping things simple—no levers required.
Can I snap (fold) my highback onto the heel cup?
Yes, it’s designed for that! The highback FWL block and pedal are specifically designed to snap in and out, allowing you to fold the highback flat for chairlifts, skating, and easy storage. You can also enter the binding without snapping it manually, as it will auto-snap once your boots are in.
Does it add volume to the binding? Is the heelcup thicker?
No. The system is extremely minimalistic and does not add any noticeable size. For example, the Jones Mercury FASE in size Medium has a length of 294 mm, which is fully comparable to any traditional binding and identical to the Jones Mercury without the FASE System.
Will the system make the binding feel loose?
Not at all. The FASE System keeps your boot locked in with the same trusted security as a traditional two-strap binding. Riders often say it feels even more snug and connected, giving them extra confidence on every run.
