Jones Mercury FASE Binding Test Notes

"This was my first time riding the FASE fast-entry system binding. It was easy to get used to and, once I was strapped in, it felt just like a traditional binding. It’s the perfect blend of performance and convenience, with all of the high-performance tech that Jones puts into their bindings. With the FASE system, I was able to just slide my foot in, strap it with one hand, and go—I could pretty much do it without stopping off the lift.
I rode this binding all over the resort—side hits, the terrain park, mini pipe, and in the trees—and it held up to everything I threw at it. Some of the things I love about this binding: it was really easy to set up, it looks great, and it fit my boot really well. Anyone looking for more convenience in their bindings should definitely check out the FASE system." —Aari
