Hi markybop.

If you look on http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/shop.html

And go to pole specifications they give some weight & rigidity specs.( only there opinion though )

Looking at them though the extender seems to come out best in the price range of a 18ft pole, dont know what size you are looking for.

Hope this helps Jeff.
For every problem there is a solution

extender poles are useless. Very cheap and very light but mine cracked right down the shaft when I used it af full extension...also, you get constant splinters from the fibre glass.

I have a predator from Brodex (18ft) and it is great...solid, rigid and light...but their carbon range is even better.(lighter) ;)

Steve.  I will be after an 18 foot lightweight pole soon and wonder if the predator would meet my needs.  A  few questions about the predator if you don't mind answering.
1)  Is it a telescopic pole?  (I don't want modular).
2)  Are the clamps hardwearing?
3)  Is it rigid enough to push most windows closed even when a full stretch?

I can`t see how you find it too bendy!
Any fibreglass pole is going to bend at full extension but the predator is one of the least bendiest I have used.

It is not modular, has great clamps and is rigid enough to close windows and work comfortably.

saying all that, I think carbon fibre is the best but too pricey for most.
