Quick-entry systems are becoming a new trend in snowboard bindings. Within this trend, JONES' unique "FASE" system, which made a striking debut in the 25-26 season, has garnered high praise as an innovative system that eliminates the need for special boots. Now, for the 26-27 season, the series has expanded to three models, offering a lineup to suit various riding styles and marking a new stage in the market
What is the FASE system?
FASE is Jones' unique fast-entry system developed to dramatically speed up the process of putting on and taking off bindings, while retaining the hold performance and natural board feel of conventional two-strap bindings
"We don't want to compromise on skiing performance. However, we want to shorten the time it takes from getting off the lift to starting to ski."
Responding to the voices of such riders, FASE has received high praise from overseas gear media and testers since its introduction in the 25-26 series, and has grown into a new technology that represents JONES
At the heart of FASE are three parts: The AutoBack, The FastStrap, and The Locked-In Toe Strap
The AutoBack features a hands-free mechanism that automatically closes when you insert your boot and opens when you lift it
The FastStrap features a long ankle ladder, allowing for quick, one-handed strap-on
The Locked-In Toe Strap stays in place once set and can be readjusted while riding
The FASE system's unique feature lies in its ability to significantly reduce the time it takes to put on boots while maintaining the secure hold and ease of use of traditional two-strap boots. Unlike step-in boots, it does not require special boots, which is highly valued and has made it extremely popular as it allows users to continue using their existing boot collection
Three models will be available for the 26-27 season!
Following the sensational debut of "Mercury FASE®" in the 25-26 season, two more models, "Zenith FASE®" and "Nebula FASE®," will be added for the 26-27 season. This brings the total number of FASE system models to three for the 26-27 season
The three models have clear distinctions. The Zenith FASE® features a carbon injection construction and a stiff flex setting of 5/5, making it a freeride model for advanced to expert riders

The future of FASE
FASE's goal is not simply to create "bindings that can be put on quickly."
The goal of this system is to allow riders to spend more time on the slopes and enjoy more runs more easily and comfortably. To achieve this, the system is based on the idea of enhancing convenience without sacrificing performance
With the lineup expanded to three models for the 26-27 season, offering choices to suit freeride, all-mountain, and freestyle riding styles, FASE is no longer just a new mechanism; it's poised to further strengthen its presence as a new snow lifestyle proposed by JONES
