Not sure wether to wait for the slx or just get the Glyder, what are your opinons?

[East coast window cleaning Services]

i was thinking the same ive held a Glyder very rigid and light, but yet to test the slx

[pingu]

Being as they are so very new poles and one of them has not been released yet it is going to be difficult to compare the both...

But we wait...

Cheers

Glyder pole is heavy and at least 6.5ft closed,don`t be fooled that it`s a true top and bottoms pole in all 1 because it`s not.

[tolzy82]

im sure the slx is shorter when closed which is an advantage

[NWH]

It is shorter and far lighter.

[tolzy82]

Any idea when the slx is coming out?

[NWH]

If i had 1 of those Glyders i would cut at least a foot off of each section,at least.

[tolzy82]

didnt realise it was that long! think ive made my mind up

[pingu]

The SL-X is due out around the 20th of this month, Alex posted this information a couple of days ago.

Cheers

after seeing the glyder i wasnt really impressed , the slx ive never seen but another option is the facelift fusion which is a good quality pole much better than the glyder .

24ft Facelift Carbon knocks the socks off of the Glyder and IMO all other poles on the market at the moment,the clamps are just so so easy to use but the main selling point for me is that it is so strong it goes on forever,i`ve had my Facelift pole 4 years + used daily and it is still in as new working order well well worth every penny.

I felt that the Glyder was rather heavy compared to the SL-X.  In fact, I felt that the Glyder (with all its trimmings, was on a par with fibre glass for weight.

Do you also have the SLX? Apart from the clamps, whats the difference in the poles?

[Clive McDonald]

Is a new slx available on the 20th or are they just comimg back into stock?

I think it's a new, longer version.

[East coast window cleaning Services]

slx end of the month spoke to them friday

[chrismroberts]

I use both, and I can honestly say, the Glyder is OK, but the SLX is really in a different league. I dont know about the new, longer ones, but the 30 foot is light, rigid, very strong and very short when closed.

The Glyder is quite light compared to the glass fibre poles, but heavy compared to the SLX. The clamps are much bigger, so the closed length is much longer than the SLX. Whats more, the actual length of the Glyder is much less than the SLX, about 5 foot less I think. They're both good poles, but the SLX is far and away a better investment, and not far off the price of the Glyder.

Hope this helps

Facelift clamps only brake (slow) collapsing or extending the pole if it hasn't been fully opened and locked in the open position. Try it for yourself. I only wish all poles had Extels clamps or Facelift's clamps as they are much better than most other types around.

The Glyder pole is well over 6ft closed it makes no difference how long the sections are it`s still well over that height,they drill a hole through the actual top section of the pole and when i suggested that they don`t need to do this they said they`ll take that on board,they can drill a 10mm hole down through the end of the screw thread which would eliminate damaging the pole itself so they thought it through not.The clamps are the same as all there other poles just a different colour,all they have done is bring out a jazzie coloured pole with bright clamps with 5ft sections which dosen`t actually effect the overall length of the pole ie it`s still long and heavy,i have held this pole and used it to clean a couple of windows and believe me people it ain`t light for a so called tops and bottoms pole i could never imagine cleaning ups and downs with that pole.IMO it`s a quickly put together pole in which they`ve tried to snatch back some customers who might be thinking about an alternative pole.
