They look pretty cool, but what are they made out of? They are way more expensive than I expected. I paid less for my pole then the price of the sleeve.

I did a write up about mine recently: http://flexines.blogspot.com/2013/04/pole-sleeve.html

To me it looks like neoprene. The same material they make wetsuits out of, but just thicker.

The pole sleeve is a latex product
ajpole · 4/16/2013
It's a rubber based material about 5mm thick (so overall will add 10mm to your pole diameter)...but with the added grip and padding, you dont even notice that its thicker. I put one on my 38mm and 45mm. So far I am LOVING it for photo shoots and strength training. My pole set up at home was not great for "dancing" anyway, so I figure this was a great alternative to get some better use out of my pole for strength training :)

Here is a demo video of install and removal of a pole sleeve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4brvEUURhbk

Here's another from the creator of POLE SLEEVES. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je9_9ExZZxw ; I installed mine without an air source - and it didn;t take more than 5 min. Was pretty simple :)

@https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/4d853680-e000-41ed-8969-6c0b0ac37250 if it is a latex product, they NEED to put a warning. If someone with a severe latex allergy touches that it could disastorous!

I cannot comprehend it taking that short amount fo time to get on. It was sooo difficult for me to get on! Probably because my pole is brass?
ajpole · 4/16/2013
@AerialGypsy thats very possible! The brass is quite grippy. I learned a little technique from Victor when I met him at PPO to help put the sleeve on easier by making little air pockets when you are sliding it on. If you just try to pull it, it will be like a chinese finger trap. LOL
Dancing Paws · 4/16/2013
Not sure how to make air pockets. I just ended up on one end of my pole pushing the sleeve on (not over the pole part, but over the edge of it.)
pegasusaerialfitness · 4/16/2013
@dirty girl poletice...I actually emailed Victor. He is located in San Diego and I am in San Diego too... He said it was a latex product.. I am allergic to latex. That is why I asked.. Email him and see what he says
pegasusaerialfitness · 4/16/2013
I'm pretty sure the Griptease is not latex.. But that's permanent and a lot more expensive.
Dirty Girl POLEtice · 4/17/2013
Since it is latex based he REALLY needs to put a caution in the faq's that it contains latex! Good thing you asked!!
ajpole · 4/17/2013
Yes good thing to ask about the latex!! Good to know!! Yeah the griptease costs a few hundred $ to ship back and forth to Australia, plus about $300 for the griptease itself. So all together about $1000...not sure what the material is.
