Im after a very light pole for mainly 2nd floor windows but approx 15 houses with 3rd floor windows each month. I would like an extender type pole with tube inside. Not too worried about cost as my shoulders and back give me a little jip now and again when using my glass fibre poles, so want a decent light pole. Seen the "The Carbon DuraPole" on the WCW site, any good??

A carbon facelift would be my choice, a very light, rigid & robust pole. the base section of the 24ft'er is only a wee bit thicker than a broom handle too. very easy to use. ;)

Try an x-tel pole from Varitech 01626 830830, cheaper than the rest. The pole is a Hybrid so its tough, light and very easy to use. My 40ft pole weighs 3.9kg. There are smaller and bigger poles in the range. Good quality affordable poles. Just bought the c-X-Tel 60ft for £1000.00 inc vat.

I too would like to hear from anybody who has tried the new duracarbon pole from window cleaning warehouse as I've seen all the rest and use facelift, tucker, ionic and carbon tec.

As Tony say's, the facelift will probably be the tool for you, particularly as you want the pole hose to be through the pole.
Though they are nothing like as light as the Gardiners Supalite pole.
I've used absolutely nothing else for cleaning all windows with for the last 3 or 4 months...well, since Valentines day anyway ;) and I'd never go back to any other kind of pole (one should never say never...should one :-X)
But you do have to be gentle with these poles...
