Soft-medium and playful — the softest, most forgiving flex in Bataleon's FASE range

Flex ratings are the brand’s own and do not compare across brands.

The Bataleon Women's Ghost FASE is the women's version of the binding that launched Bataleon's MonoFrame chassis, and the first thing to be clear about is what it is not. It is not the Blaster: the Ghost rides a one-piece composite MonoFrame, unlike the aluminum AsymWrap frame the Blaster line uses. And it is not the men's/uni Ghost, which is a separate model on the same platform with a longer size run. This is the women's binding. FASE is Bataleon's fast-entry system: step in and the Ghost Highback auto-closes behind your heel, the pre-set toe strap holds, and the long FastStrap ankle ladder — still connected — lets you re-tension with a pull or two, standing at the top of the run instead of sitting in the snow.

Underfoot, the Ghost's MonoFrame is a single composite piece with fiberglass added for response, and Bataleon rates it a flex 5, the most forgiving binding in its FASE range. That is the whole character: it flexes with the board for a playful, surfy ride rather than a stiff, locked-in one. Bataleon's own terrain read puts it high for park and resort riding and lower for powder, which matches the soft flex — a relaxed all-mountain and freestyle binding, not a charging tool. The Ghost Highback is tuned for added tweakability, and the AuxTech ankle and toe straps use auxetic patterns that expand around the boot without hard pressure points.

One sibling pulls harder-riding women off the Ghost, and it is stiffer. If you ride fast and want more drive, the Women's Blaster AW FASE steps up to a flex 6 on Bataleon's firmer aluminum AsymWrap chassis, with a 2-degree canted footbed. The Ghost gives up that response on purpose, in exchange for a softer, more playful feel; if a canted footbed matters to you, note the Ghost runs a flat EVA Sub-Base Pad — the canting is the Blaster's, not this binding's. And there is a size ceiling: the women's Ghost tops out at M, so a boot that needs a larger shell has to move to the men's/uni Ghost, which runs to L.

Two honest gaps before you buy the Ghost. Bataleon does not publish its mounting pattern and ships a FASE-only disc, so check that disc against your board's inserts before you commit — especially on a Burton Channel board, where you should not assume it fits. Bataleon publishes no weight and no clean boot-size chart for the Ghost's women's shell sizes, so fit the actual boot rather than a number. At PTO the women's Ghost ships in Gray Pistachio only, in the S and M shells — no XS, no Black, and no L exists in the women's run. We have not ridden it: this is read from Bataleon's catalog and the FASE system page, not from laps on snow.

Will it fit your board?

Bataleondoes not publish which insert pattern this mounting disk fits. Check the disk in the box against your board’s insert pattern before you buy — or ask us to confirm the fit.

Technology

MonoFrame Chassis

Bataleon's all-new one-piece composite platform, with fiberglass added for response. Bataleon frames it as a single-piece chassis that gives a consistent flex and lets the board flex naturally underfoot — an easy, low-fuss feel rather than a stiff, locked-in one. It is the Ghost's own platform, not the aluminum three-point AsymWrap frame the Blaster line uses. The women's model runs the same MonoFrame chassis as the men's/uni Ghost, in a women's size band.

FASE Fast Entry System

Bataleon's fast-entry mechanism, and still a two-strap binding — nothing clicks onto the boot sole and there is no plate to step onto. You load the boot hands-free, the highback closes behind your heel, and the pre-set toe strap plus the long, still-connected ankle ladder let you re-tension standing up. It keeps working with any standard snowboard boot.

AutoBack / Ghost Highback

The auto-closing highback at the heart of the fast-entry claim: it closes automatically as the boot enters, opens when it is time to unstrap, and folds flat for skating, chairlifts and storage. The Ghost's version is tuned for added tweakability, in step with the soft, playful flex.

AuxTech straps (3D AuxTech Cradle FastStrap + AuxTech ToeStrap)

Bataleon describes AuxTech as auxetic hinged patterns that expand around the boot without stretching or distorting, so the straps wrap the foot without hard pressure points. The FastStrap ankle ladder is the long, always-connected strap that makes the one-handed re-tension work.

Strengths

  • +MonoFrame one-piece composite chassis flexes with the board for a playful ride.
  • +Ghost Highback auto-closes on step-in; the FastStrap ankle ladder stays connected.
  • +Flex 5 is the softest, most forgiving binding in Bataleon's FASE range.
  • +AuxTech auxetic straps expand around the boot without hard pressure points.
  • +Women's-specific XS/S/M size band on the softest FASE platform.
  • +Two-strap FASE takes any standard snowboard boot — no step-on hardware.

Best For

Women who want hands-free FASE entry on a soft, playful platform — beginner to intermediate, and anyone with a relaxed park-and-piste style who values a forgiving, surfy feel over maximum stiffness, in a women's-specific fit.

Limitations

  • Soft flex 5 is the least responsive binding in Bataleon's FASE range.
  • Not for aggressive charging — the stiffer aluminum Blaster drives harder.
  • Flat EVA Sub-Base Pad; no canted footbed like the Blaster.
  • Bataleon publishes no weight and no clean women's boot-size chart.
  • Mounting pattern unpublished; ships a FASE-only disc you must verify.
  • Only Gray Pistachio in S and M — no XS, no L shell.
  • Not ridden by us — a spec-and-catalog read, not a ride report.

Not For

Aggressive, hard-charging riders who want a stiff, locked-in binding — the flex-5 MonoFrame Ghost is the soft end of FASE; step up to the stiffer aluminum Women's Blaster AW FASE. Riders who specifically want a canted footbed, since the Ghost runs a flat EVA Sub-Base Pad, not the Blaster's canting. Anyone who needs verified Burton Channel or EST fit but will not check the disc in the box, because Bataleon does not publish the Ghost's mounting pattern. Buyers set on the Black colorway or an XS, since PTO stocks only Gray Pistachio in S and M. And anyone whose boot needs a larger shell than M — the women's Ghost has no L; a bigger boot means the men's/uni Ghost or another model.

Common Questions

Is the Bataleon Women's Ghost FASE a step-in binding?
No. It is a two-strap binding whose Ghost Highback auto-closes as the boot enters and whose FastStrap ankle ladder stays on the buckle. You strap in standing up and still fine-tune the ankle with a ratchet — nothing clicks onto the boot sole and there is no plate to step onto. It works with any standard snowboard boot.
How is the women's Ghost different from the Women's Blaster?
They are different platforms, not two versions of one. The Ghost rides Bataleon's composite MonoFrame platform and sits soft, at flex 5. The Women's Blaster AW FASE uses the stiffer aluminum AsymWrap chassis at flex 6, with a 2-degree canted footbed. The Blaster is firmer and more responsive for harder riding; the Ghost is the softer, more playful one. (There is no Women's Blaster PRO — the PRO is a men's model.)
Will the Bataleon Women's Ghost FASE fit my board?
Bataleon does not publish which insert pattern the Ghost's mounting disc fits — it ships a FASE-only disc. Compare that disc to your board's insert pattern before you buy, especially on a Burton Channel or EST board, or bring the board to us and we will confirm the fit at the bench. We do not assert a fit Bataleon never stated.
What size Women's Ghost FASE should I buy?
By your boot, never your weight or height. The women's Ghost runs XS, S and M with no L; PTO stocks the S and M shells in Gray Pistachio. Bataleon does not publish a clean boot-size chart for the Ghost's women's shells, so bring the boots you ride and we will match you to the right shell at the bench; if your boot sits at a size boundary, we size up. A boot bigger than the M shell needs the men's/uni Ghost, which carries a larger shell.
Is this the women's or men's Ghost?
This is the Women's Ghost FASE, a separate product on the same MonoFrame chassis, with a women's-specific size run — XS, S and M, no L — plus colorways of its own. The men's/uni Ghost FASE is its own listing with a longer size run and different colorways. If you want the men's or unisex model, that is the one to look for, not this listing.
