Title: Which pole?
Post by: simp on February 20, 2009, 08:29:27 am

Looking for a new pole, atleast 28". Have been on all the websites and ended up with a bad head. Its like a minefield! I have about £350 to spend and want a good lighter pole than the tree trunk I'm using at the mo  ???

Your budget and lightness are the deciding factor here. Your choices can include:

Hybrid Xtel-28ft £290 (inc brush, +VAT) actual length = 28ft, 2.3kg
Facelift-29ft Glass Fibre £369 (inc brush +VAT) actual length = 26.5ft 2.9kg
Brodex Hydra-31ft £323 (inc brush, +VAT)actual length =  28ft ?kg

What do you think of the HXTEL 28" Hybrid? Seems to be quite good, weight wise. Don't know about reliability!

Told you so, forget brodex & hybrid crap, the slx will pay it's way very quickly in many ways. ;)
