Jones Fase Bindings
Discover the new Jones Fase bindings
Jones FASE bindings represent a revolutionary step in snowboard technology, combining the speed of entry with the performance of traditional two-strap bindings. Developed by JF Pelchat and supported by top athletes such as Jeremy Jones and Victor De Le Rue, these bindings offer a unique mix of comfort, control, and efficiency.
The evolution of Jones Fase bindings
Since the 1980s there have been countless attempts to improve snowboard bindings, particularly aimed at faster entry. Many of these innovations, such as step-in systems, offered convenience but compromised on performance. The Jones FASE bindings break this pattern by combining the best of both worlds: the convenience of quick entry without sacrificing the responsiveness and control demanded by advanced snowboarders.
The FASE Fast Entry System from Jones
The FASE (Fast Entry System) is designed to speed up getting into the binding without compromising performance. When entering, a pedal mechanism activates the highback automatically, causing the binding to close around the boot. The toe strap only needs to be adjusted once, while the ankle strap can be fastened easily with one hand thanks to a smooth, toothless section. This system retains the familiar feel of traditional bindings while offering the efficiency of modern technologies.
Features of the Jones Mercury FASE binding
The Jones Mercury FASE binding is the flagship model that introduces the FASE system. This binding is designed for freeriders seeking precision and comfort. Key features include:
- AutoBack: a highback that closes automatically when entering, making the process quick and effortless.
- Locked-In Toe Strap: a toe strap that stays in place and only needs to be adjusted once.
- FastStrap ankle strap: an ankle strap that can be tightened with one hand, making entry even faster.
This binding is compatible with all snowboard boots and boards, making it versatile for different riding styles and conditions.
Adjustability and performance of a Jones snowboard binding with the Fase system
The Jones Mercury FASE binding offers adjustable settings to meet the preferences of different riders. With the ability to switch between Surf Mode and Freeride Mode, snowboarders can tailor the responsiveness and flex of their binding to their style and mountain conditions. In Surf Mode, soft bushings and a specific ankle strap positioning provide more freedom of movement, while in Freeride Mode, stiff bushings and a different strap configuration deliver maximum control and precision.

Jones Snowboards is known for its commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness.
