i have the 18ft pole and was unsure to start with but know it has bedded in, its nice and light especially with the superlite brush. the only thing i would prefer that it be shorter when collapsed.

I've got the 31ft carbon hydra pole. For the price I don't think it can be beaten £389 inc VAT.
The pole is very rigid, a little heavier than I expected but shorter when collapsed than their previous poles.
I'm not a fan of the clamps but they are probably no worse than anyone elses.
If you take the bottom section off it is then extremely light.
I use a Superlight brush with it as these are great.

i,ve got the 18ft fglass and the 34ft carbon , both are very good poles , i tend to use the carbon most of the time as you can remove sections very easily and its very rigid  , i would buy the carbon again but if i was buying a fg pole i think i would buy the facelift fg as they have reduced the collapsed length and the prices have also been lowered regards alan

Thanks guys for replying.

The new Hydra is shorter in section size I now believe.

Have to get a new pole soon so am looking around.

if your up down up down with your poles all day which you tend to be on houses i find the fibre glass ones very unsuitable. they wear very quick and you end up getting loads of splinters in ya fingers. av chucked loads over the last few years.

Then i bought a couple of prolong poles made from aluminium av had these for about 8 months and there still going strong these have a 3 year guarantee on them too rather then just a year like the glass ones.

they are a little bit heavier but nothing to stop you working with but i wouldn't buy 1 past 24ft , i use the 24ft all day everyday and i find it fine but there is the 18ft but i prefer a little bit more reach.

these def save money in the long run.
