New wipers from Rain-x
i would love to see how they work in snow/ice.. but other then that normal wipers are fine for me
I have them on my truck. Been running them a couple of months so far. The work well, slightly better than a standard wiper imo but they seem like they will last a while longer, the rubber feels rather different.
I've got them on my ranger. They work very well IMO. Between them and rain-x I got no problems at all.
I bought them at Meijer on sale for $10 each. Reg price there, is like $16-$17 Don't think I'd pay $20 each though.

I like Trico blades. I replace the assembly when needed. I read that some new ones are made of Teflon. They probably do work better but I have been happy so far.
IMO the most important thing to keep your wipers in good condition the longest is NEVER use them when ice or frost is on the windshield, that just cuts the edge up and makes them go bad real fast. A little reminder make sure to turn them off when you park. :P
I make sure to use the alcohol wipe on all new blades to get the stuff they have on them so they come out of the mold easy off.

I have some cheap off-brand version of that single arm no bracket wiper stick thing. They suck. They aren't curved enough so the ends are up in the air. I hope the Rain-X ones fit better.
I'm a little concerned about their ability to move snow without an y reinforcement.

I used those no frame wipers, and I was quite impressed until they started falling out. The little plastic things that hold them on are one size fits all and they don't fit very well. You can clamp the hook at the end of the wiper arm a bit more... I just went back to the stock metal frames with inserts.
The frameless ones did move snow well, they had an aluminum strip along the blade and were fairly rigid... this of course also keeps the passengers side tip off the glass lol.
