Jones Stratos Men's Snowboard
Modern all-mountain ripper ideal for freeride, freestyle and carving
Stratos is a hybrid all-mountain board made for creative freeride and tricks in any terrain. With a tapered directional freeride shape combined with the feel of a freestyle board, the Stratos is incredibly playful and nimble in powder and mixed conditions. The Stratos wants to cut turns and shred its way downhill. Got a hole or a bump in front of you to bounce off of? Don't hesitate to send it into the air.
Specifications
- Flex: 3/5
- Purpose: Freeride 10/10, All-mountain 9/10, Freestyle 7/10
- Level: Advanced and Expert
- Directional shape
- Profile: Directional Rocker - hybrid rocker/camber. Increased maneuverability and, thanks to a larger lift, it has better buoyancy in deep snow. The camber bend directly under the binding improves response and holds on the edges.
- Base: Sintered 9900 - Made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and carbon. Very durable, quick and easy to repair; already waxed with Wend natural wax from the factory.
- Ultra Core: Premium dual density wood core made mostly of paulownia with specially placed poplar stringers for improved durability and power in turns.
- Lamination: Biax Fiberglass - a bi-directional, two-layer fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and elegant ride.
- 3D Contour Base 3.0: freeride 3D contours with evenly balanced 7mm bevel in the nose and 7mm bevel in the tail. The spoon taper starts at the rocker point. This 3D shaping is used for dynamic and smooth downhill ride, intuitive entry into the turn and better floating in powder.
- Topsheet is made of Eco-plastic
- Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilize the board's flex and bow throughout its lifetime.
Shape Tech
- Traction Tech 3.0: Traction Tech 3.0 technology has three lugs on each edge (front binding, middle of the board, rear binding). The middle lug is slightly larger than the outer lugs for better grip.
- V-Core: offers a stable and playful feel on the board. The wood core is softer between the feet for easy turn initiation and stiffer in the nose and tail for stability when riding over uneven terrain.
- Blunt Nose - shape adapted to the nose of the board, which floats better in deep snow and prevents slowing down in powder
- Directional Flex Pattern – The nose, mid-board and tail are slightly different stiffnesses to help lift the nose, sink in the tail and improve stability at speed.
- Tapered Shape 10 mm - The tapered shape sinks the tail in powder for better floating and faster turning
- Progressive Sidecut - At the farther ends of the sidecut, the radius gradually increases after reaching the contact point with the edge. Gradually increasing the radius of the sidecut towards the contact point results in a smoother start and exit from turns, as the edge enters and exits the snow with a less abrupt transition.
Sustainability
- Bio Resin: Bio resin is a bio-based epoxy resin made from 27% vegetable carbon instead of petroleum carbon. The organic raw materials used to produce bioresin are by-products or waste products of plant-based industrial processes. 33% less greenhouse gas emissions are required to produce bioresin than to produce conventional epoxy.
- Oversized Recycled Edges - All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges to increase durability and improve manufacturing sustainability.
- Basalt Power Stringers - Sustainable durability. Basalt stringers are made from 100% natural fibers and help transfer power to the edges, improve torsional response and absorb board vibration.
- Wend Natural Wax: Jones boards are ready to shred straight from the box and are factory waxed with natural wax
- Sidewalls from recycled ABS
- Snowboard made using 100% solar energy

How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead. Not sure how stiff your snowboard is? Ask us!
Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
