Frequently asked questions
Is the FASE® Fast Entry System trusted by Jones Pro Riders?
Yes! Riders like Jeremy Jones, Victor de Le Rue, Marissa Krawczak, Harry Kearney, Garrett Warnick and Mia Jones ride the FASE® Fast Entry System Victor de Le Rue and Mia Jones have both won the Freeride World Tour with FASE® bindings, and Harry Kearney won the Mt. Baker Legendary Banked Slalom on the Mercury FASE® binding.
Is the FASE® Fast Entry System really compatible with any brand of snowboard boots?
Absolutely. The FASE® Fast Entry System works seamlessly with all standard snowboard boots on the market.
Does the FASE® Fast Entry System work in deep powder?
Absolutely. Victor de Le Rue and Jeremy Jones trust the Fast Entry System in all conditions. 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 system is mountain-tested and deep snow is not a problem. If needed, you can also strap in just like a traditional two-strap binding.
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 where the terrain makes entry challenging, you can simply unstrap both straps, sit down and get in just like a traditional binding.
Has the FASE® Fast Entry System undergone testing?
The FASE® Fast Entry System 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 function in different snow conditions and withstand demanding mountain climates. 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 the FASE® Fast Entry System weigh?
The Fast Entry System is seamlessly integrated into the Jones Mercury FASE® binding, keeping the weight fully comparable to other high-end two-strap models. The system is extremely minimal and weighs 40 g (1.4 oz). The Jones Mercury FASE® in size Medium weighs 895 g (31.6 oz), putting it right in line with traditional bindings on the market.
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 simple, quick, and easy to do one-handed.
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.
Does the highback fold down?
Yes, it’s designed for that! The FASE® hitch (forward lean block) and pedal are specifically designed to detach, allowing you to fold the highback flat for chairlifts, skating, and easy storage. You can also enter the binding without fully reattaching the hitch and pedal, as it will auto-snap once your boots are in.
Does the FASE® Fast Entry System add volume to the binding? Is the heelcup thicker?
No. The system is extremely minimal and does not add any noticeable weight or bulk. 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 FASE® Fast Entry 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.
