Our number one goal was for the poles to be the most user friendly and easiest poles to use bar none. Feedback we are getting is we've achieved exactly that.As for a lighter version.... We have one in the pipeline which will be the lightest fully telescopic water fed pole out there. We are testing at the moment but will have some news later on in the year.
