If you are going to get an extreme pole then put an extreme brush on it.

Doesnt seem much point buying the lightest pole available and putting a brick on it.

The supreame brushes aren’t heavy ,I found the extream brushes very poor no scrubbing power and they don’t like hot water , I have tried most brushes over the years and prefer the supreame, light , good scrubbing power , good splay and long bristles .

Xtreme is the way.

Wipe the hose when collapsing.
Wash through once a month and spray on some PTFE polish.

At about 9 months disassemble thoroughly clean and spray with lacquer.

At 18 months as above and new clamps.

Mine is still going at 3 years.

Be careful when tapping windows closed!

But they are heavier than the extreme brushes, so if you are looking for the lightest setup then why lift more than you have to. The extreme brushes are fine for maintenance cleans. Ive had lots of brushes also and whilst the heavier brushes do scrub better they arent worth the weight penalty.   95g brush vs 180g brush means about half a kilo more effective load on your arms.

Think you need to re evaluate your maths 1kg =1000 grams  half that gives you 500 grams the difference between the two brushes is 85 grams  , that’s not a lot ,if you can’t use a180 gram brush at an angle I don’t think a manual job is for you

Your maths is good but your physics not so much. Unless you are cleaning vertically then the weight at your arms is always going to be more than 85g. Half a kilo is an estimate based on the angles used in cleaning a window.

If I cant use a heavier brush then a manual job isnt for me .....That's an odd statement from someone who has gone to the expense of buying extreme poles to save weight. Why not just use and slx if its not an issue.
