Title: Carbon vs fibre glass when using hot
Post by: sunshine windows on December 11, 2012, 11:35:12 pm
Don't know if it my imagination but since changing poles from extel hybrids to slx's, the poles themselves don't seem to get warm enough to keep your hands warm.

Does fibre glass retain the heat better than carbon, because if it does I might buy a couple of clx's for winter work as I'm a big girls blouse.  :o

You were working so much harder with the f/glass pole that your hands were naturally warmer- probably begging for mercy! ;D

I always feel the cold in my fingers no matter how hard I work. Bad circulation I guess.

Oh we'll, time to get my marigolds off and put the winter gloves on.
