Ive been using brodex hydra 25 ft aluminum poles for quite a while, they were a good buy and came with 3 year guarantee.
They can reach pretty much all of my work including alot of 3rd storys, just short enough collapsed to do the downs.
They are fairly rigid and dont wear. I converted them to gardiners lightweight brush heads and pole hoze. I stay away from glass fibre personally.
But i think everyone agrees gardiner pole make the best ones, when i come to replace mine i will without a doubt be getting a clx or an slx. Best spend bit extra one one of those if you can!
