clx 22 excellent pole for every day use. Also have clx 27 which is good value pole but would not want to use it as every day pole.

Brushes are about 10 1/2 inches (a bit less than 12 anyway). Best gardiners brush IMO is the flocked dt sl (others for me do not scrub so well) but recently have gone back to a vikan on most jobs because although heavier I think it scrubs better.

The medium mixed dt feels very nice on the glass and is quick to use as it glides over glass nicely, but for me does not scrub very well. Probably good on monthly cleans.

Brushes are a matter of preference.
But in my opinion the dt superlite flocked brush isn't great.
It does a decent enough job and is good on leaded windows but I question the longevity of it.
In my experience they look like crap after a month! 
I've got a dt superlite mono brush which is over 18 months old but looks in much better condition than the flocked version.

In my experience the mono does not scrub that well but lots of people seem to like them.

my wife asked what i want for xmas , erm would your budget stretch to a slx , NO  came the reply , but it may stretch to a clx [ if she cancels her nails and hair ] anyway enough of my domestics , im goin to be ordering a CLX carbon composite 22ft with a super lite medium duel trim brush , has anyone got any objections if so say now or forever hold your peace , i know i can spend a fortune but for now i just want the lower price model , one thing im woried about i use a brodex pole at the moment and whatever we all think of that it is strong and robust i dropped it off a garage roof the other day and it just jumped back up and shouted come on lets do this  now this is ideal for me cos i am always dropping my stuff , i will be a lot more carefull with my clx but what i want to know is if it does slide down a wall will it be ok , im not planning on dropping this one of a roof but im just woried it may be a bit more sensitive than my brodex     anyway i only finished working yesterday and i promised my self i would give buisness a rest at least  for the first week of my holls and here i am on that blasted clean it up arghhhhh im a windy getmeouta here 

one thing im woried about i use a brodex pole at the moment and whatever we all think of that it is strong and robust i dropped it off a garage roof the other day and it just jumped back up and shouted come on lets do this  now this is ideal for me cos i am always dropping my stuff ,

maybe you should cordon your area off like nvq level 2 says and impact 43 you really wouldnt want a brodex landing on someones head
