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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWant the full picture?\u003c\/strong\u003e Our \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"How to Choose a

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JONES","offers":[{"title":"158","offer_id":42958833123391,"sku":"J-27-SPM-HOS-158","price":1699.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"161","offer_id":42958833156159,"sku":"J-27-SPM-HOS-161","price":1699.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/8102\/files\/27MensHowlerSplitPreorderHero_ff58dbc9-ed2f-4ed8-84b9-e61585239afb.webp?v=1773889937","url":"https:\/\/www.ballistyx.com.au\/products\/2027-jones-mens-howler-splitboard","provider":"Ballistyx","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
