Jones Mercury FASE Snowboard Binding 2027 | Polar Blue

Jones Mercury FASE Snowboard Binding 2027 | Polar Blue

Ice-Cool Colour. Two-Strap Lockdown. Fast Entry.

The 2027 Jones Mercury FASE snowboard binding in Polar Blue is the binding that kills the sit-down strap-in for good. It's Jones' all-terrain freeride binding with the FASE® Fast Entry System built in. You get the locked-in feel, response and all-day comfort of a proper two-strap binding, but you're in and gone before your mates have found their ratchets.

Polar Blue brings a blue colourway to the Mercury FASE. Underneath is a medium, lively flex (Jones rates it 7/10) that holds an edge when you're charging and still gives you enough play to slash, tweak and float.

What Is FASE®?

FASE® stands for Fast Entry System. It isn't a step-in and it isn't a single-strap gimmick. It's a true two-strap binding with three features added:

• Folding highback that snaps back up automatically. Kick it flat for the chairlift or skating. Step in and it snaps up into ride position on its own.
• Set-and-forget toe strap. The LSR 2.1 Auto-Lock toe buckle holds its position between runs, so you slide your boot straight under it.
• FastStrap ankle ladder. An extra-long ladder that stays attached, so you can strap in with one hand while you're still rolling.

To get out, open the straps like any normal binding. There are no levers to press. Jones backs the FASE® system with a lifetime guarantee.

Proven Under the Best in the Game

Jones was founded in 2010 by big-mountain legend Jeremy Jones, and everything the brand builds is tested in real freeride terrain. The Mercury FASE isn't a convenience binding with performance tacked on. Victor de Le Rue won the Freeride World Tour on it, and Harry Kearney won the Mt. Baker Legendary Banked Slalom on it. Jeremy Jones, Marissa Krawczak and the rest of the Jones team ride it too.

Key Features

• ✅ FASE® Fast Entry System: one-handed strap-in, true two-strap performance, lifetime guarantee on the system
• ✅ Fusion XR Baseplate: low-profile asymmetric chassis made from a four-material blend. The only hard contact with the board is a minimal ring around the disc, surrounded by vibration-absorbing foam, for pure board feel and instant edge power
• ✅ AsymFlex Highback: mid-wide, mid-stiff and winged. Stiffer low down for control, softer up top for comfort, with an asymmetrical spine that's reinforced on the outside for drive and softer on the inside for tweaks
• ✅ ImpactCush Pad: soaks up chatter and heavy landings. It's a sliding pad built around the FASE system, with a 3° cant for quicker turn response
• ✅ DualFlex Ankle Strap: stiff TPU core for response, softer TPU edges for comfort and fit on any boot
• ✅ Adaptive Fit Toe Strap: a flexible outline moulds to your boot, a denser centre spine locks it down and the textured inside grips
• ✅ Alloy Buckles: high-grade aluminium for durability
• ✅ Tool-less adjustments: change strap length and the 2-position forward lean by hand

Size Guide

Sizing tip: Size off your snowboard boot, not your street shoe. If you're between sizes, the boot's outer footprint decides it: chunky or heavily padded boots may need the bigger size. Your heel should seat fully in the heelcup, with toe and heel overhang balanced across the board. Not sure? Bring your boots into our Richmond store and we'll fit them on the spot.

Who It's For

Ride it if: you're a confident, progressing rider who charges the whole mountain, from groomers to steeps to pow days, and you're over sitting in the snow to strap in.
Look elsewhere if: you live in the park and want a soft, buttery binding. The Mercury FASE is built for response first. If you want even more power, step up to the carbon-injected Jones Zenith FASE.

FAQ

What does FASE stand for on Jones bindings?

FASE® stands for Fast Entry System. It adds an auto-snapping highback, a set-and-forget toe strap and an extra-long FastStrap ankle ladder to a traditional two-strap binding, so you can strap in with one hand without sitting down.

Will the Mercury FASE fit my boots and board?

Yes. The FASE® system works with all snowboard boots, and the universal disc mounts to 4x4, 2x4 and EST/Channel boards from any brand.

What size Jones Mercury FASE do I need?

Small fits US men's 5–8, Medium fits 8.5–10.5 and Large fits 11–14. Women's sizes, UK, EU and Mondo are in the size guide above. If you're between sizes, check your boot's outer footprint or come in for a fitting.

Does FASE work in powder and steep terrain?

Yes. In deep snow, clear the binding before you step in. If the terrain makes stepping in tricky, you can still strap in like a traditional two-strap binding.

Is the Mercury FASE heavier or bulkier than a normal binding?

Barely. The FASE mechanism weighs about 40 g, the binding is under 900 g in size M, and the footprint is 294 mm, identical to the standard Mercury.

Is the Mercury FASE good for beginners?

Jones rates it 4 out of 5 on its beginner-to-expert riding-level scale, so it suits confident, progressing riders. The medium, lively flex rewards solid technique. Newer riders will still love how fast it is to get in and out, but a softer binding is usually more forgiving while you're learning.

Faster laps, same lockdown. Stop strapping, start shredding.
