The FASE System
The system is built around three key technologies: the AutoBack, which closes automatically around your boot; the Locked-In Toe Strap, designed to stay in the perfect position; and the rider-proven FastStrap, for smooth one-handed strapping in.
The Autoback
The key to the revolutionary FASE Fast Entry System, the AutoBack, allows for hands-free entry into the binding. This intuitive design automatically closes as the boot enters the binding and and opens when you lift your boot out. The AutoBack also folds flat for skating, chairlifts, and storage.
The Faststrap
An innovative long ankle ladder that remains connected for ultra-fast, one-handed strapping-in. With a classic ratchet design to fine tune ankle strap tension, the FastStrap compliments the AutoBack’s automatic closure system so riders can strap-in faster than ever before.
The Locked-in Toe Strap
Simply set it and forget it. Designed to remain in position to complement the Fast Entry System. The LSR 2.0 buckle and unique tri-toothed ladder allow you to ‘set it and forget it’ or make easy on-the-fly fit adjustments.

See how it works
How do I get in?
Open mode
When the AutoBack is angled back and the FastStrap is wide open the binding is ready for entry.
Hint: Kick the AutoBack forward to fold it flat for loading chairlifts, skating or storage.
1.
Simply insert your boot into the binding and catch the toe strap. (The AutoBack automatically closes around your boot while the Locked-In Toe Strap remains in place.)
2.
Buckle down only the FastStrap (ankle strap).
(Since the ankle ladder is already engaged, you only need one hand to complete!)
How do I get out?
Ride mode
With the AutoBack closed around your boot, and the FastStrap securely buckled you’re ready to charge in any terrain or snow condition.
1.
Simply open the FastStrap (ankle strap) until it stops.
2.
Bend your knee slightly, lift your heel, and exit completely.
(The AutoBack opens automatically.)
Tips & advice
First ride of the season
The Locked-In Toe Strap is made to stay in place. Adjust it once before your first ride to get the right tension, then leave it as is.
Lifts and storage
Kick the AutoBack forward to fold it flat for loading chairlifts, skating or storage.
As minimal and light as it gets
Ultra-minimal design that matches the weight and volume of traditional two-straps.
FASE System weight
The FASE Fast Entry System is engineered to blend seamlessly into our partner brands’ bindings, keeping them on par with existing high-end two-strap models.
The mechanism itself weighs just 40 g (1.4 oz). For example, the Jones Mercury FASE in size Medium weighs 870 g (30 oz), fully comparable to any traditional binding on the market.
FASE System volume
The system adds no noticeable volume underfoot. For example, the Jones Mercury FASE in size Medium measures 294 mm in length, identical to the Jones Mercury without FASE and equal to any standard binding footprint.
