Review from the magazine

TG rating

Sunderland were without doubt one of the pre-test favourites. The Whisper Dry looked respectable and also did the business in the comfort stakes, so we were eagerly anticipating a stellar performance. But, like the majority of cats and cricketers, it didn't like getting wet. The initial sower was withstood relatively well, but our tester was very wet after the follow-up. And another thing: it dried at a glacial pace. We reckon this would be fine for a light shower, but anything more and you're in trouble.
