What this means in real life:

  • XERO's stiffer pole also 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 pole has a shorter collapsed length if you are worried about storage space.
  • REACH-iT's pole has a slightly longer extended length.

Our take

If you care most about lightness and peace of mind, the XERO Trad 12 is the stronger all-around choice. If your top priority is a slightly longer pole (and you’re comfortable with no return policy), REACH-iT may be more appealing.
