Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Compass Diversified Holdings, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust") and Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "LLC"), were formed to acquire and manage a group of small and middle-market businesses headquartered in North America. Collectively, Compass Diversified Holdings and Compass Group Diversified Holdings, LLC are referred to as the "Company". In accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of August 3, 2021 (as amended and restated, the "Trust Agreement"), the Trust is sole owner of 100% of the Trust Interests (as defined in the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, dated as of August 3, 2021 (as amended and restated, the "LLC Agreement")) of the LLC and, pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the LLC has, outstanding, the identical number of Trust Interests as the number of outstanding common shares of the Trust. The LLC is the operating entity with a board of directors and other corporate governance responsibilities, similar to that of a Delaware corporation. The LLC is a controlling owner of ten businesses, or operating segments, at June 30, 2023. The segments are as follows: 5.11 Acquisition Corp. ("5.11"), Boa Holdings Inc. ("BOA"), The Ergo Baby Carrier, Inc. ("Ergobaby"), Lugano Holdings, Inc. ("Lugano Diamonds" or "Lugano"), Wheelhouse Holdings, Inc. ("Marucci Sports" or "Marucci"), Relentless Intermediate, Inc. ("PrimaLoft"), Velocity Outdoor, Inc. ("Velocity Outdoor" or "Velocity"), AMT Acquisition Corporation ("Arnold"), FFI Compass, Inc. ("Altor Solutions" or "Altor") (formerly "Foam Fabricators"), and Sterno Products, LLC ("Sterno"). The segments are referred to interchangeably as “businesses”, “operating segments” or “subsidiaries” throughout the financial statements. Refer to Note E - "Operating Segment Data" for further discussion of the operating segments. Compass Group Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability Company ("CGM" or the "Manager"), manages the day to day operations of the LLC and oversees the management and operations of our businesses pursuant to a management services agreement (the "Management Services Agreement" or "MSA"). Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments consist solely of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any subsequent interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP") and presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust and the Company, as well as the businesses acquired as of their respective acquisition date. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Discontinued operating entities are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company's results of operations and statements of financial position. Discontinued Operations During the first quarter of 2023, the Company completed the sale of Compass AC Holdings, Inc. (“Advanced Circuits or ACI”). The results of operations of ACI are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Refer to Note C - "Discontinued Operations" for additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosures accompanying the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the Company's continuing operations. SeasonalityEarnings of certain of our operating segments are seasonal in nature due to various recurring events, holidays and seasonal weather patterns, as well as the timing of our acquisitions during a given year. Historically, the third and fourth quarters produce the highest net sales during our fiscal year, however, due to various acquisitions since 2020, there is generally less seasonality in our net sales on a consolidated basis than there has been historically.
