More likely sweaty hands

No it’s water leaking in. When doing very high buildings and the water runs down the pole, it’s soaking through the gloves. You get a cold wet soggy glove.

Never happens with the screwfix ones.

Why do you have water running down the pole ? Usually only happens when doing lower stuff with the pole at acute angles

Lower windows? Never.

It’s when you’re doing 40 foot plus, often the water will drip down the pole as the angle with the carbon goosneck at that height causes water to trickle off the brush and down the pole.

Ok not had that happen might get the odd drip but nothing to worry about getting wet hands like that,  on our longer poles we use the 45 degrees fixed carbon gooseneck s

I use the same gooseneck. Often the water drips down the pole when working at big heights. Just how it is.

Orange screwfix gloves keep you dry 👍🏼

We do a lot of 45-80 feet high and only  get an occasional drip   Are you sure it’s not a leak in the top of the pole hose to jets and running down the pole that’s the only time we have had issues like that .

Mate, it’s been the same for years and years, it’s because the xtreme pole bends a fair bit, so ends up almost vertical at the top section , this then means the water falls off the brush onto the pole and runs down.

If you’re using ultimate poles it probably wouldn’t happen.

I’ve been using xtremes forever and it’s always happened at those heights.

The skytec argon are good.
Of course they arent waterproof as in dip your hands in water for any length of time they let water in.

But they are water resistant enough, very warm and the lining doesnt pull out. 2 pairs last me all day then i take them in and stick them on the radiator. I bought 4 pairs 3 months ago and i dont need to order any more yet for £5.50 a pair they are good value.

I tried the argon extra but found the lining wanting to pull out of them much easier

I’m much happier with the orange screwfix ones mate

Yes we do use ultimate poles at that height , sold an extream 47 years ago as it was way to bendy at that height even worse when adding extra sections 😂😂😂, if you have the work for it the ultimate is a very good pole it’s heavier but much more ridged and better  in wind

Wrong angle of attack - maybe too close to the building (this depends on the available space of course)

We used to buy our winter gloves from various wfp suppliers and get ripped off with high prices but now buy same gloves or any other ones for much less than half price from here.

Doesn’t matter Darran, it’s the top sections of the xtreme poles, they end up vertical at that height, so the water comes straight down onto the pole. Only happens at those heights.

I use the Orange Arctic Kool grip gloves. Usually around the £5-6 mark a pair. Very good with fleece lining (which doesn’t come out). There is a very similar one where the fleece annoyingly Comes out-make sure it’s the Kool grip one). I got my recent batch from  safety plus. I hope this helps 👍
