The first layer is a helical E-glass tape, the second layer is a crosswise helical E-glass tape, the third layer is an UHP-glass body wrap, the fourth layer is an S-glass body wrap, the fifth layer is a carbon fiber body wrap, the sixth layer is an S-glass body wrap, and the seventh layer is an S-glass trapezoidal sail piece.

Abstract: A vaulting pole is made of five layers of fiberglass and carbon fiber. The first layer comprises a fiberglass or straight run carbon fiber material oriented such that at least half of the fibers are transverse to the longitudinal axis, the second layer comprises at least one circumference of a fiberglass or carbon fiber inner body wrap, the third layer comprises a fiberglass or carbon fiber trapezoidal sail piece, and the fourth layer comprises at least one circumference of a fiberglass or carbon fiber outer body wrap. At least one of the second, third, and fourth layers comprises carbon weave.
