The Jones Orion is a men’s snowboard binding designed for freeride and all-mountain use. It’s built to give riders a reliable connection to their board when navigating varied terrain, from groomed runs to steeper, off-piste lines.
With a flex rating of 6 on a medium-stiff scale, the Orion strikes a balance between responsiveness and comfort. This level of stiffness helps transmit energy efficiently during turns and high-speed carves, while still offering enough cushioning for shock absorption when riding through choppy or uneven snow.
The flex rating is measured on a scale from 1 (soft) to 10 (very stiff). A rating of 6 means the binding provides solid support and feedback underfoot without feeling overly rigid, making it well suited for riders who want stability on faster descents but don’t want to sacrifice all-day comfort.

Jones says about the Orion
The Orion binding is designed for fun focused freeriders who are looking for a comfortable and durable freeride binding with a freestyle friendly medium soft flex. The Orion features SKATETECH technology that transfers your energy directly to your edges through our most advanced Hangar 3.0. The Hangar 3.0 is wider for better boot fit and has an expanded bushing footprint for better energy transfer. The Orion's Progressive Flex Highback is stiffer at the bottom and gets progressively softer toward the top for a precise and playful binding feel. The Orion can be set up in Surf mode or Freeride mode by switching bushing and interchanging the Comfort Flex Ankle Straps between bindings. The Comfort Flex Ankle Straps are 3D molded to evenly distribute strap pressure and eliminate strap bite. The Orion is also fitted with our new 3D Flex Fit 2.0 toe straps. The low profile 3D Flex Fit 2.0 toe strap is slightly stretchy to conform to any boot shape.
