I've heard good things here of the bosch icons so I got a set almost 5 yrs. ago.Pd.$35.00 at amazon.Still holding up great.I'm sure they cost more now.I find that taking them off 2-3 x a yr. and giving them a good cleaning helps the longevity.

I just had a set on Bosch 22PUV put on !
Done at O'Reilly and they had a buy 1 get 1 so I paid $28.00 for the pair
So I would check your local parts store as they have sales a lot of times !
Autozone is also a good place to check if you have one near by

Which handle the Texas summer heat the best? I go through wiper at least once a year. I usually just get the mid-grade ones from local autoparts because they're so freaking expensive. I remember back in the day you would just buy the rubber inserts and it would be super cheap.

Maybe there should be a poll for this.

I know nothing about Texas weather conditions or what it means for wipers, but here are 2 rather interesting YT review videos from Project Farm on wiper blades. One is about 10 minutes, the other about 13. I've been using the more expensive Bosch Icon and have had good luck with them. You could also spend half as much and replace them twice as often?
Good luck!

BTW - since some are talking about prices and recent purchases, I checked every auto parts retail outlet near me, the Bosch Icons are $62 and change.
Then I checked Amazon and they were $53 and I bought a set, they got here yesterday. I think I'll give the truck a thorough and much needed bath and then put the new set on.

So if you get 2 for one and you are having to replace them annually, did you buy 3 or 4 sets?
