Title: Do carbon poles make your hands black?
Post by: Ian Lancaster on November 30, 2014, 03:53:00 pm: As the heading.

Thinking of getting some Facelift carbon or hybrid poles - one of my lads complains of the black from aluminium poles, don't want to recommend carbon to him if he's going to get the same problem!!

Get Sealeys disposable gloves, they last all day every day, a wee bit dearer than the bog standard ones but cheaper on the long run ;)

What poles do you currently supply then ian??

The initial Franchise includes a set of Brodex poles (18', 24' and 30') because they will withstand a considerable amount of abuse. Thereafter the Franchisees can buy whatever they prefer.
