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. ;)

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
