Here's what customers have to say
The product is generally well-received, with users finding it effective, durable, and easy to install. The baskets provide good flotation in deep snow and are a suitable replacement for lost or damaged originals. However, some users reported issues with the baskets dislodging or falling off during use, even when tightened securely. A few also mentioned difficulties screwing the baskets onto their poles, though heating the pole and basket was suggested as a solution. Overall, the majority of users seem satisfied with the product, but it does have some quality control issues experienced by a small number of customers.

Perform as expected
I had to buy these Powder Baskets because my new Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Poles did not come with Powder Baskets. The Powder Baskets fit my Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Poles and perform as expected.

Snap them on TIGHT
I ordered these replacement baskets after repeatedly losing the originals in deep powder. We snapped the new ones on TIGHT for a week of full day tours in the Arctic Circle and they didn’t budge once!

Simple and effective
Got these to convert my carbon trekking poles for winter use exploring the Boundary Waters with my Altai Hok skis. So far so good.

Terrible
Bad design and very cheap threads. Also leaves exposed threads on the pole leaving them prone to damage on the trail.

Ordered powder baskets and they didn't fit
Despite quite a lot of chat help, the replacement powder baskets recommended for my old (but still in great shape) poles didn't stay on in a snowshoe. I lost the first within the first mile, and the second within mile two. Now I'm told there are no baskets available and I need to order new poles. It's disappointing.

Inexpensive, and fit perfect
These are great products for the cost. My wifes black diamond hiking pole lost a snow basket and these were easy to replace! Would definitely recommend

Expect to replace over and over and over again when they fall off
I've been using BD snow baskets for the last 6 years with two versions of Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles. I've gone through several replacements, because they continue to fall off in the snow. This is a defective design and I'm tired of it. Just purchased a new pair this week. On my first hike with them today both fell off, despite my continuing to tighten them throughout the hike. I could only retrieve one, and now I'm faced with ordering another pair just a week later and after just one use. A clearly inadequate way to attach baskets that they haven't addressed in at least 6 years and I'm tired of wasting my money on them.

New baskets
Going skiing in February and need to have spare baskets in case. These are exactly what I wanted for my Traverse 3 poles.
