As the title says what is it made of. I have just looked through their new brochure (which is a beautiful piece of work) and it is the only pole in the brochure that does not say which material it uses. I had assumed that it was a carbon fibre pole, but the fact that it does not say and its weight makes me think that it is perhaps a glass/carbon mix like the Fusion. Does anyone have more information about this, perhaps from the show.

Just being nosey really, but it would be interesting to know.

From a earlier post

The Glyder is a full carbon pole

[Captain Scarlet]

Reuben said modulus carbon fibre if my memory serves me right

[Captain Scarlet]

heres a letter they sent me day after the show:

"The GLYDER Pole - a completely new 28ft carbon fibre pole that weighs just 2.61kg and is made using only 5ft sections......"

Its possible its a mix though, it would be best to phone them up!

[Alex Gardiner]

Thank you all. That has sated my curiosity 

[NWH]

LOL Alex it really does sound like your worried about that pole,you don`t sound to worried about the Facelift fusion but the Glyder lol.

[NWH]

I will view 1 first there`s an ionic shop 1/2 a mile from me.

[Captain Scarlet]

There is something nice about the pole, though its heavier than an sl-x, its got a great feel.

[Mr Formby]

They are doing roadshows starting on March 23rd  so they could be near you soon

What are the clamps like?

Simon.

It look and felt like a very good pole at the show, I squeezed the pole really hard and there was no give in it.

and at £370, for ionics thats a bargain.

What are the clamps like?

Simon.

nice, they are chunky, ready to take a bashing. But the prototype model on show had slipping clamps, this was apparently down to the compound of the plastic, something that Reuben ( md of ionic ) assured me would be fixed by next week. His brother in law owns the injection moulding company that makes the clamps, so I believe he gets prority!! Reuben explained that the clamps grip the entire circumference of the pole unlike some

me too, it was solid as rock

Is that all in  ie vat and delivery included or does that add another £100 to the price

[williamx]

You will have to pay for delivery I expect and of course vat, but its still cheaper than most of the compertion, maybe they started to notice that window cleaners do shop around for the keanest prce as well as quality.

About bang on with the slx then but without the brush?

[NWH]

Did anyone pick 1 up do they feel a lot heavier than the competition,and what was the length like compared to the SLX.

[Captain Scarlet]

I held it extended and closed for about 15mins, its a 26ft pole, and similar to a closed 25ft sl-x, pole was VERY rigid
