Rhinocerous/Horse/Gnu, its a mix of different hairs for leaded windows, used mainly on first cleans and when a rain guarantee is likely to be useful, or if your custards have a tendency to come out with 'Oh, can you leave them today please?'
One is flocked, the Gnu I seem to remember, one splays better with hot water, the rhino; and the other, horse, is shorter so useful in a dual-trim sense.
Some people swear by them, Ewan does, I cant see the point, all a load of old baloney Im sure ;D

Reach Higher Ground (RHG) is a pure water systems company here in the states. They have unsurpassed after sales service and 2 different size boars hair brushes. I have tried the Simpole boars hair and the RHG 12" one and I preferred the RHG.
Here's the 12" - http://shopwindowcleaningresource.com/water-fed-poles-sysytems/brushes/rhg-boars-hair-brush-12.html
Here's the 16" - <a href="http://shopwindowcleaningresource.com/water-fed-poles-sysytems/brushes/rhg-reach-hogs-hair-brush-16.html

Classic Matt ;D ;D ;D ;)
Its a Reach Higher Ground USA (do a search) brush thats made in the UK.
I found they both hold dirt and need high volumes of rinsing. I prefer lighter man mades for regular cleaning.
-
The USA has different needs to us, they tend to do annual jobs in and out including the screens. So the high rise buildings get really manky and need a really good scrub. Boars head where used as a manual hand brush and later converted because the market demmanded it, to wfp use. Lightness is what wfpers need.
-
as i said i use mine all the time , it cleans better than the others, its by unger.
-
there is no weight on it or on the paper work, but i can tell you its very light and very fine bristles.
-
Do these type of brushes scratch frames and sills ?
Ewan can you put a link to these type of brushes please.
-
the brush head is made of wood if that helps.
-
the brush stinks when its wet ,bit like how a dog stinks when its been in the rain ha ha .
the other brushes ive got are double trim white bristle type they are good to , but i hope to get all my poles fitted hogs ,there not much diffrance in weight but at a push i would say hogs is lighter .
but i will say this if you do get one you will notice how the hogs seem to wipe the glass even bird sh.. comes off with no effort at all.
it feels diffrent as opposed to the double trim you can feel the bristles on the glass with those .
it came with 2 fanjets but i added 2 more , only because i like to rins well , the jets are set slightly at an angle from the original ones to allow for fast flow.
the screw fitting on the back of the brush, the bit that fits to the pole was added extra because i have extel poles .griggs also sorted this out for me .

i thought it was the van but on closer sniffing it was the brush ;D
