There a few choice on the Gardiner's site.
-
For me it's the 15 degree DT flocked at the mo'.
I still have a 15 degree, which is superb (15 degree being the ORIGINAL SL footprint) DT mono from when they first came out. I would like Gardiners to also re-introduce this brush along with a near zero degree version. ;)

I also have a Superlite Xtreme but I've not had the chance to use it yet! ::)

What's the 'degree' thing all about?
WHat does dual trimmed mean? Is that where the inner of the brush the bristles are shorter than the outside edges?
-
Depends on how you clean the windows,
I use dual trim Mono bristles - i use fan jets and rinse with brush on window,
others use/prefer dual trim flocked and use pencil jets and rinse off window.
dual trim is indeed longer outer bristles and shorter inner.
great brushes whichever you get

It's the angle/degree of the bristles. Zero degree would have no splay & project from the stock parallel with it. 15 degree splay, the bristles start to move from parallel outwards & (gardiners) "standard" the bristles splay even more so. Depends what you prefer & how you work. I personally prefer less splay, I find the more splay=less accuracy. The more splay the bigger the gap between jets and top of bristles, can be a problem if you want to rinse off without the wet bristles touching something above. For me 90% of problems come from the top of the clean, not where you want a fan of over-splayed wet bristles flicking about IMO. ;)
Everyone sees things differently of course. ;D
