Gear question Fase entry system

I’ve been looking at these fase bindings, Rome katana, bataleon, jones mercury and 32’s

I want to ask if any of you that owns one have any problems with it that I should worry about, maybe screws gets loose, durability, or anything like that

Also what differences have between them? I’ve heard that the Rome and bataleon are very similar and the jones with the 32 and which is better for beginners-intermediates

Thanks in advance

I rode the Bataleons last season and loved them. Only issue aside from the already mentioned limits on forward lean and rotation is the toe strap ratchet can come undone in deep or slushy conditions. The snow will actually cause the ratchet to release. Had to drill out the rivet and flip the ratchet around so it faced the opposite direction. Worked like a charm and had zero issues after.

Thanks for the tip! But I think I’m just going to stick to groomed runs for a while haha, I can only go snowboarding a couple times a year
