Hi Everyone, I'm thinking of investing in the new Pole Sleeve that's out for winter practice. I'm tired of either freezing my tail off for the first 15 minutes or having to crank the heat. Does anyone have one? Do they work well? Pros and cons? Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I've ordered a polesleeve a month ago. But I havn't received it yet. I originally had ordered a pink one, but I was told that they had a problem with the pink one so I change it the red one. So I should get it soon(I hope). I'm looking forward to receiving it. I'll let you know after I receive it and use it. If you are to order a pole sleeve, avoid ordering the pink one cuz it seems that they are often out of stock(I guess), so it's gonna take forever to receive it.
AerialGypsy is the one who use it, and she might answer your question. I got to know about it from her. Just so you know :)
Truth is I ordered one, and had a hell of a time getting it on the pole. Burned out two motors on blowers trying, rented equipment to help with getting on my 45 mm pole, got it half way on and could not get it on past that. I got the sleeve on one halve of my pole and could not blow the rest on. ( check directions if you have no idea what I am talking about) I had to cut off the sleeve which was 1/2 attached and the other flopping in the wind which I could not get on the pole. They had me cut off the sleeve send back with a diameter drawing of the circumference of the Platinum Stages pole I was attempting to put it on. They sent me a new sleeve. The new sleeve I ordered will fit the ultra skinny pole Platinum stages has that I have not ordered yet. While I had 1/2 of the sleeve on the pole all my teachers and some students tried the sleeve and all stated it seemed so "fat" as the sleeve added circumference to the pole Our advanced students are use to 45 mm brass poles here in Tucson and when you add a sleeve it pushes it up to a standard sized 50 mm pole, for some... hard to do tricks on. SO I ordered the ultra skinny pole this time to put the sleeve on.... have not received the pole yet, but when we do, will report on how it works.
I'm interested in finding out more, does anyone have a website? I can't find anything when googling! :)

I would like to add, the pole sleeve we think will be a great addition to our studio or to any home, it certainly makes dangerous moves like an ayesha, not so scary when you are learning and practicing. Using the pole sleeve certainly allows you to stick to the pole better, you can hold poses longer, it makes the pole a whole different piece of work out equipment. I think the strength training you will be able to do with it will be great. Just climbing the pole and holding poses is so much easier, with the struggle to actually hang on to a slippery metal pole gone, your focus can be on your form, and endurance in holding poses and taking your time getting into and out of them.
I did a blog post about my pole sleeve experience. It's a neat product. It is very different from poling though. I feel I have to grip more since there is fabric between me and the sleeve. It grips skin a lot and it is nice for sweaty hands, though now a cure. http://femtasticdance.blogspot.com/2013/06/pole-sleeve.html
