2027 Jones Howler Men's Splitboard

Based on Victor de Le Rue's best-selling design, the Jones Howler Splitboard brings full-throttle freeride and freestyle energy into the backcountry. Its directional shape and full camber hold a confident edge on steep, firm faces and stomp airs with real pop, while 3D Flip Tips keep the nose floating in deep snow. The mid-stiff flex delivers the power and stability you want when you've earned your turns. It's a creative freerider's split built to make technical backcountry lines a breeze.

Why we like it:

High Power Camber over a Koroyd-reinforced core delivers the grip, pop, and stability to charge steep backcountry lines and stomp airs. Karakoram Ultra Clips and a Boltless Bridge keep the two halves locked together for a solid, board-like ride.

Who it's for:

It's for advanced and expert splitboarders who ride steep, technical terrain and bring a freestyle approach to the backcountry. Riders chasing a poppy, hard-charging split for couloirs, spines, and deep days will be right at home.

Highlights:

Full camber, which Jones calls High Power Camber, runs the length of the board for trick-stomping pop and edge hold on firm, steep snow. The tapered directional shape and 3D Flip Tips keep the nose planing in powder, while energy-absorbing Koroyd and a Bcomp Carbon Flax stringer keep the core stable and lively. Updated Karakoram Ultra Clips and a Boltless Bridge lock the halves into a stiff, connected ride.

Things to consider:

The mid-stiff flex and full camber are built for charging, so this isn't the most forgiving split for riders newer to the backcountry. As a directional freeride shape, it favors descents over switch riding and park-style laps.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Match your usual all-mountain length for a stable, charging feel on the descent. Sizing up adds float and high-speed stability for bigger lines and deeper snow, while your normal size keeps it quicker on technical terrain, and bigger boots should look to the wide option.
