A very well made pole the sections slide with ease and like i say very well made,as for being a pole you can use allday long up and down is complete rubbish it is far to heavy for me for tops let alone downs.Closed the pole is well over 6ft and has a fiberglass base section the clamps are nothing new either although orange in colour but they work well,the thing that did it for me was the weight of it far to heavy for me to use for the whole day up and down.

What would you recommend NWH, and don;t say a harris 

[AuRavelling79]

Well what did you expect? The tallest Glyder is 999 metres high and the smaller one is 994 metres ... 

See if Tosh or the Gogs can interpret that one for you.

I would recommend as you know Facelift carbon as i know they are a quality product that lasts years,i`ve had a carbon Facelift for over 4 years and it gets used daily.I will be getting the new SLX when it comes out with the new moulded plastic clamps i feel Alex has ironed out most problems with the pole now ie jamming and clamp issues.

[poleman]

I have used both the glyder and SLX and in my view the SLX wins hands down!

facelift poles are good but they are much much to long when closed, so my opinion of facelift poles are that they are poop  - THATS WHY I AM OUT

NEW CLAMPS ARE THE NUTZ

I think Malc could be talking about a certain type of hilly-landscape-type-feature? 

Or he's talking rubbish?

You have the alloy clamps there not the new new ones.

New clamps? Sweet.

How would you compare the Glyder to the first revision SL-X?

[Dave Turley]

did you road test a 66/72 ft or whatever the big poles are?

or was it the 25ft?

just wondering if it was a like for like comparison with the sl-x?

[windowswashed]

SL-X is best for lightness and rigidity but wears down too quick. Facelift is slightly heavier (not much), has better, smarter clamps, and wears many times better, (giving better value for money) than a SL-X, but is reflected in the proportionately higher price. Overall verdict; they are about equal.

In an ideal world a facelift pole shortened from 6ft to 5ft with the price lowered to that of the SL-X, made slightly thinner in wall diameter to reduce the weight would be the ideal pole. Pity Facelift don't make a 10inch version of their original brush head as it would be a good brush if it wasn't so large and heavy. The facelift gooseneck is ideal as it can be used either as a short or long gooseneck depending on which way it is fitted to the top of the pole and brush.

If you want a Facelift ring Russel Oxley at facelift and im sure he would do you a deal on a new pole

Well "Googled" Tosh! Superb twin-peaked mountain in Snowdonia.

Nope, not googled, I guessed it was like a 'Munro'.  I've done a lot of climbing when I was younger; and used to 'collect' highest peaks (I've done the highest in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, France (Mont Blanc) and Germany); sad I know.

[ftp]

Sounds like you peaked too early.

[AuRavelling79]

Close Tosh but not quite - the Glyders are two mountains peaks off of the same mass - one is Glyder Fach the other Glyfer Fawr - you can walk up but a good way is over the North face of Tryfan and up Bristly ridge which both allow for some superb simple scrambling (but without needing ropes).

Both are higher than anything in England but a bit lower than Snowdon and the Carneddau in North Wales.

just wondered what u lot think of this pole. im thinking of pre-ordering one http://www.faceliftcleaning.co.uk/fusion-pole-range.html

Well I held a Glyder (25 ft).  I also held an 18ft glass multipole.  I reckon that if the multipole had been the same length as the Glyder, the weights would have been about equal. 
Not scientific but I bet I'm not far off i.e. I doubt there is much (if any) benefit using carbon as opposed to a multipole.  The guy reckoned that the Glyder was only 200 grammes heavier than the SL-X.  I find that hard to believe - unless he meant poles without brushes and the Ionics pole has a much heavier brush.

Can you tell us more about any changes to the SLX? I bought one at the beginning of April I wanted two but Gardiners were only selling one pole per person

I thought this was the latest SLX design with alloy clamps, do you know anymore on the plastic molded clamps and why Gardiners have changed the material and design. I'm on the waiting list for a second pole in May and I'm interested to know if this pole will be different to the one I bought at the beginning of April?
