When you need serious flotation for your backcountry ski tours or snowy treks, the Black Diamond compactor powder baskets are ready to come to your aid. These 100mm wide baskets turn the compactor trekking poles into winter all-terrain beasts, providing enough buoyancy to keep you moving efficiently without being overly large. The two-section pole capture feature makes attaching and stashing your poles a breeze and the incredibly easy (think “gloves in a snowstorm easy”) to attach threaded center ensure that putting these accessories on won’t mean exposing your hands to the cold. When your trail running shoes go to the closet and the winter gear comes out to play, make sure you are ready for the deep drifts with the compactor powder baskets welcome floatability.

Cool Used these for my home made bamboo poles and they look and fit great. Used them once in light pow and they were ok not the best but for 7$ I think I paid very worth it.
2 Baskets as Expected, Worked Awesome! Make sure you pay attention screwing them in with the correct side facing down!They came as expected and there were 2 baskets in pack. They fit my poles perfectly.
Powder Baskets? These are great little baskets but not in deep snow. They release well in more consolidated snow conditions due to the basket shape but do not provide enough support in deep snow. They are a good compromise but I prefer a full basket when blazing trails on deep snow.
