First Xtreme pole September.
Took it apart Christmas to clean it and noticed the carbon was split at one end, not badly but enough to email Alex about. Alex advised that it needed cleaning more regularly and some new end tape made it good again.
I bought an Exceed pole over Christmas and have used that since. Yesterday I converted the Xtreme to tubeless and took it to work today, pushed a window shut, (I know I know) BANG.
I think I'm too extreme for these poles.
I would also say for anyone like myself, sole trader, 20 to 30 houses a day, always in a rush, push windows shut and clean poles infrequently, the SLX beats it hands down.
Gutted.

I think your right, slx seems the better option for man handling and work horse style cleaning, I'd like to try an xtrmeme but have seen a lot of cracks in this forum, putting me off

[firefly123]

have to say i have an extreme pole but to be honest for the weight you save and how often you have to replace sections wished i had bought an slx far more user friendly have an slx 18 4 years fab pole

[dannymack]

If I was doing loads of houses all day where the pole is up and down all the time I defo wouldnt pay out hundreds on a pole, I'd use a 27ft unger pole slightly heavier but a cheap glass fibre pole. What I Like about the unger pole when it starts spinning you can just take the amp off put insulating tape where the clamp would sit over it and it's like a new pole. I do a lot of commercial and use this with a Gardiners sill brush had it about 2 years and still a good pole. I've got the slx 35ft and superman 55ft which I use these occasionally
You can get a bare unger pole for about £90 bargain if it lasts me 3 years
Or more can't go wrong.

Looking at the pic I think its in the wrong bin the poles black not green 

[Tom-01]

We use SLX-25's as everyday poles and they're excellent. We have a 35ft extreme we use ad-hoc for higher windows/velux etc. Think its too lightweight to use all day every day imo.

How has the extreme cracked across like that, has it been extended beyond its marking/stopper tape or something ?

[dazmond]

looks like its user error!your not supposed to extend the section THAT much!(where its snapped).your supposed to clamp them ON THE METAL BANDS!!

yes they are a bit more fragile than an slx but i love em.i have 3 Xtremes now(two 25 s and a 47).i wouldnt be without them.it makes your working day a breeze using them day in/day out.

Thank you Dazmond, I am aware of where they clamp.
The pole over 35' is maybe the best available, but for me as an everyday pole it's not robust enough
