XERO Delight vs Gardiner Xtreme 47

Quick comparison

What this means in real life:

• XERO's stiffer pole offers less fatigue as you work since you aren't fighting it wobbling around.
• XERO’s return window is a huge advantage if you’re still dialing in what you like in a pole.
• XERO's lifetime warranty means you don't have to worry down the road if a section cracks or a clamp breaks.
  

Our take

If you care most about stiffness and peace of mind, the XERO Delight is the stronger all-around choice. If your top priority is a slightly lighter pole (and you’re comfortable with a 30-day return policy), Gardiner may be more appealing.
