SNOWBOARD BINDINGS
Getting in got a lot easier.
Traditional two-strap bindings are still great. But newer fast-entry systems like FASE and Nidecker Supermatic are making entry and exit easier without forcing riders into one proprietary snowboard boot system.
Choose Bindings for the Whole Setup
Boot size, boot shape, riding style and flex preference all matter. A softer binding can feel more forgiving and playful. A stiffer binding can add support and quicker response. The right binding should make sense with the snowboard, snowboard boots and rider together.
Traditional Two-Strap
Still an excellent choice for riders who prioritize simplicity, low weight, value or a very specific binding feel.
FASE Fast Entry
Faster entry with the familiar feel of a strapped binding, while still working with regular snowboard boots.
Nidecker Supermatic
Automatic rear entry for quick step-in convenience while remaining compatible with regular snowboard boots.
Fast Entry Without the Proprietary Boot Lock-In
FASE and Nidecker Supermatic give riders faster entry and exit while working with regular snowboard boots. That means you can choose the boot that fits your foot best instead of choosing a boot because your binding system requires it.
Your binding shouldn't pick your boots for you.
Start with the snowboard boot that actually fits your foot. Then choose the binding technology you want.

FASE: Familiar Feel, Faster Entry
FASE is built for riders who like the feel and adjustability of a traditional binding but want to spend less time getting in and out.
It uses an automatic highback and straps designed to stay ready for entry, while still working with standard snowboard boots.
More FASE Choices
FASE isn't tied to one binding model. At Sun & Snow, you'll see FASE options from Rome and ThirtyTwo, giving riders choices in flex, feel and price while keeping regular boot compatibility.
Pick the boot for your foot. Then pick the binding.
Easier entry shouldn't mean fewer choices.
Supermatic: Automatic Entry With Regular Boots
Nidecker Supermatic takes a different approach. Slide your boot in, press down with your heel and the binding engages automatically, while the straps remain part of the system for familiar adjustment and support.
Which System Is Right for You?
There isn't one binding system that's best for everyone. Fast-entry technology is exciting, but traditional two-strap bindings still make a lot of sense for plenty of riders.
Traditional Two-Strap
Still an excellent choice if you care most about simplicity, low weight, value or a very specific binding feel.
Traditional bindings also give riders the widest range of flexes, shapes and performance options. If you already strap in quickly and don't care much about faster entry, there may be no reason to change.
FASE
Best for riders who want easier entry while keeping a familiar two-strap feel and regular snowboard boot compatibility.
It's a strong middle ground between a conventional binding and a more automatic system.
Supermatic
Best for riders who put a high value on quick, automatic entry while still wanting to use regular snowboard boots.
The tradeoff is a more complex and generally heavier binding than a simple traditional setup.
Fast entry is an option, not an automatic upgrade.
The right binding depends on how you ride, what your boots are like and what matters most to you. We'll help sort out the tradeoffs instead of assuming newer is always better.
Build the Whole Setup
Bindings work best when the rest of the setup makes sense with them. If you're still choosing the rest of your gear, start with the pieces that matter most.

Board shape, flex and width should match the rider, terrain and the rest of the setup.
