Can't really say much for their performance in snow though.
They cannot be worse than the Reflex wiper blades. The problem is that there is no hinging or framework, instead a semi-flexible rubber body. Where that becomes a problem is that overnight, snow melted and froze under the blade, keeping it overnight in an arched shape. Now, everything has melted, but the blade is retaining its shape for awhile. Really annoying, especially when you hop in quickly and need to go somewhere. Then you have to stop, try to force it back into a straight shape, and try again. Ugh.

So far I'm having good results with blades from a Company named Silblade. They are silicone blades and have given good service for over a year now. Just my .02 cent's worth

Thsi looks interesting as well.....

"You may never need to scrape again. By spraying your vehicle?s glass the night before, morning frost and light ice will be easily wiped clear with a few swipes from your wipers or snow brush."

Don't bother with the PIAA wiper blades - they really really suck. They leave a band of silicone deposited at the end of the wipers arc on the windshield. It's a pisser to remove. And IMO the PIAA blades do a poor job of clearing the windshield.
Lately, I've been using RainX brand wipers. They're ok.
Tim, those Bosch Micro Edge Excel wipers work very well. I'm going to try the new Bosch ICON blades next time.

Just bought a Bosch ICON set from Autozone, Buy one Get one free with Mail-in rebate, so eventually the pair will have cost $17.99. Of course, will treat with Rain-X before replacement. Really hard to find an 11" blade for the rear, had to get a Duralast (PTFE treated), Autozone brand. We'll see....

Flat out wonderful in the rain, of course, applied RainX too, the new RainX wipes make it even easier to apply. The ICONs are silent, chatterless and streak free, of course they are new, but never "heard" a blade this quiet.

Well worth the $18 for the pair. Will post a follow up in 6 months...
