You need to compare them to the sl range as they are the same weight and size. I use the xline mono and it is significantly better in cleaning ability than gardiner brushes IMO.

X line brushes beat gardiners offerings by a country mile...

I find it surprising that Alex has been designing and innovating brushes for quite a while now and the first brush Xline brings to market is better than the entire Gardiner range IMO.

I am sure the Xline has borrowed from the sl range as it is the same size and weight, but it is notably better.

Must be the colour then.

According to this thread
http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=200823.0;all

they are made in the same factory using the same materials. Alex says that X-Line used to use another brush supplier but have now swapped supplier to the same one Alex has used for years.

Same stock, same bristles = similar brush. So the deduction is that the X-Line can't be better than the Gardiner equivalent.

I see there is/or was a price difference though.

Spruce I think the difference - which Alex has admitted - is that the outer bristles are shorter on the xline brush. (I think the inner bristles may also be a bit longer). This results in the bristles holding their shape more (less flattening on the glass) and so scrubbing better,

Iv never used an X line brush but if your comparing them to the Gardiner Superlite then to be honest it isn't going
to take much of a brush to beat it, I always found that you needed to put too much pressure on the Superlite to get the inner
shorter bristles touching the glass. ( Medium mixed black and white )
Not my favourite Gardiner brush by a long shot.

Bristles might be the same but the depth was different and the number of outside rows I believe, possibly the splay too. There's only so much you can do to a brush after all. I imagine the new Gardiners brushes must be close to the Xline.
Gardiners will have a massive range soon so there should be a brush to suit everyone in there somewhere.
Now they've made the Ultimate I don't suppose they will ever surpass it  ;D

If it's the same range I'm testing, they are excellent. Light and great scrubbing ability.

Fair comment - that would make a difference

If the ultimate is basically a lighter version of the xline mono then it could well be perfect.
