Ok rant over, are they any good though ? lighter than a supermax ? cheaper than an extreme ?

I tried one. Not overly impressed. Facelift and Gardiners have better poles, cheaper too.

This place in Brighton has them on show as I was in there today getting some bits

I've got a swift 32' pole and it's ok to use. It's not fancy looking or spectacular in any way but it does the job and is solidly made and now that Ionics have sorted out the clamp problems they did have, I'd give it a 7 or maybe an 8 out of 10.

Gordon - I would meet you somewhere and let you clean a window or two, or maybe the whole house if I was really being kind, but I leave the pole in our flat in London for when I'm working up there.

It is a pita (their site)
The swift+ is a bit heavier than the extreme.
But I found it a better pole.
I had Ionics 80' 50' 30' & 18'
50' was my favourite.
The 80' is much better at height that the extreme 47' with extensions.
I only sold my poles as the collapsed length of the 80' was about 9 feet.
It had to go on my roof rack. I always felt vulnerable with it on display like that.
And I don't like driving with the roof rack on.
The extreme 47' fits inside my van (Trafic SWB) as do the extensions.
As I only use it once a month or so, I felt it a better choice.
If I had a big van though, I'd've stuck with ionic 80', 50' and 30' but still moved to SLX18.
I sold my ionic poles and bought my Gardiner poles in August 2013.
