The thirtytwo Basin FASE Snowboard Binding is a mid-soft, fast-entry binding that removes the bend-down at the top of every lift. The AutoBack highback closes automatically as the boot steps in and opens again when it's time to unstrap, so entry is hands-free. The FastStrap ankle strap uses a long ladder that stays connected, which lets one hand cinch it down. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"By the end of a full day of lift laps, the Basin still gives under my boots, and the added dampening takes the chatter out of choppy snow. I can still feel the board flex when I press into a tail, so the ride stays playful and never goes sloppy."
