2027 Jones Men's Howler Splitboard

The 2027 Jones Howler Splitboard is a high-performance freeride split built for riders who want powerful descending performance without compromising uphill efficiency. It sits at the aggressive end of the Jones splitboard range, designed for riders who approach the backcountry with the same intensity they bring to resort freeriding. Directional shaping, strong camber response and a supportive flex give the Howler the kind of precision and confidence that experienced splitboarders look for when terrain gets steep or technical.

What defines the Howler is its ability to feel stable and predictable when conditions are variable. The directional camber profile drives strong edge engagement for reliable grip when skinning or descending on firm snow, while Traction Tech edges add extra contact points to improve hold in icy or wind-affected terrain. A lightweight wood core keeps the board efficient on long climbs, and the sintered base ensures it carries speed when the descent opens up. Combined with Jones’ splitboard hardware system, the Howler becomes a tool built to climb efficiently and descend with authority.

Key Features

Shape – Directional
A directional freeride shape designed to prioritise stability, float and powerful turn exit when riding natural terrain in the backcountry.

Profile – Directional Camber
Camber between the feet combined with a longer nose profile that increases edge hold and power while maintaining float in deeper snow.

Flex – Stiff
A supportive freeride flex designed to remain stable at speed and maintain control when descending steep terrain.

Tech Features

• Directional Shape
  A longer nose with a slightly tapered tail improves float in powder while maintaining strong edge hold and control on descents.
• Directional Camber Profile
  Camber underfoot delivers edge hold and response, while the extended nose profile improves float and stability in soft snow.
• Control Split Core
  A split-specific wood core built from Bamboo, Paulownia and Poplar, designed to reduce weight for touring while maintaining strength, response and durability on the descent.
• Triax Fiberglass
  Fibreglass layered in three directions increases torsional stiffness and improves edge-to-edge response for precise control.
• Bcomp Carbon Flax Stringer
  Natural fibre reinforcement that adds snap and response while helping dampen vibration in variable backcountry conditions.
• Koroyd®
  Lightweight energy-absorbing material integrated into the core to reduce weight and improve vibration damping on descents.
• Traction Tech
  Subtle serrated edge contact points improve grip on firm snow and icy terrain, especially when skinning or traversing.
• 3D Flip Tips
  Spooned tip and tail shaping reduces swing weight and helps the board release more smoothly from turns in variable snow.
• Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0
  Adjustable clips that actively pull the board halves together, improving torsional rigidity and board feel when riding.
• Boltless Bridge
  Removes base hardware to reduce drag and prevent snow build-up while improving glide.
• Sintered 8000 Base
  A durable, high-density sintered base that absorbs wax well and maintains strong glide in varied snow conditions.
• Premium Topsheet
  A durable topsheet construction designed to resist chipping and maintain long-term durability.
• Bio Resin
  Plant-based epoxy used throughout construction to reduce reliance on petroleum-based resins.
• Recycled ABS Sidewalls
  Sidewalls made using recycled ABS improve durability while reducing manufacturing waste.
• Recycled Steel Edges
  Steel edges manufactured using recycled materials reduce environmental impact without compromising strength.
• Solar Powered Production
  Jones boards are produced in a factory powered by renewable solar energy as part of the Eco-Performance program.

About The Brand

Jones Snowboards was founded by legendary big-mountain rider Jeremy Jones with a clear goal: build equipment designed specifically for mountain exploration. The brand has become a benchmark in freeride and splitboard design, focusing on high performance shapes, reliable construction and sustainability-focused manufacturing.

Today Jones sits at the forefront of backcountry snowboarding. Their boards are developed through extensive real-world testing in demanding terrain, resulting in equipment that prioritises edge hold, stability and efficiency in natural mountain environments. From dedicated freeride shapes to advanced splitboards, Jones continues to build tools that help riders travel deeper into the mountains and ride more confidently once they get there.

The Men’s Howler Splitboard brings Jones’ freeride and backcountry philosophy together in a more creative, modern package. It takes the brand’s splitboard know-how, efficient climbing, dependable board feel and serious mountain capability, and applies it to a shape built for riders who want to approach backcountry terrain with more freestyle intent. That makes it a strong example of how Jones continues to push splitboard design beyond pure function and into more expressive riding.
