3-Quarter Indexed Powder Basket

Powder baskets

Solid powder baskets! I love the climbing feature of the basket.

Index powder baskets

Great backcountry baskets. They allow a better pole plant when skiing and good support with snowshoes. Paired with BD traverse poles.

3/4 ski pole baskets

These baskets allow me to get in close to my ski boot to release my 22 Design Outlaw X telemark bindings. Before this, the full size powder baskets made it hard to get my skis off of my boots.

What I've been looking for

I've been wanting to change to this style of baskets but haven't found any till now. I did cut down the locking tab since I have the older BD poles. They seem to be very tough since the snow now is very hard and icy.

Love these for bindings and risers

I replaced the standard baskets on my Razor Carbon Pro poles with these. They give me more float, as well as easier access and more visibility when fiddling with my bindings!

Good working basket

Works to to stop kick out on icy hard and wind pack snow for steep and flat striding. Have the old poles so I just cut off the indexing tab, works fine. Using them on collapsible poles so indexing superfluous.

Classic hiking baskets

The design to allow angled hiking is classic. Have gone through a few pairs of these over the past two decades

Not everyone will appreciate the benefits of the partial basket

My favorite basket design

I missed the old BD basket design. Glad to see it back in a new design. I run these for BC and resort skiing
