Question Wiper Recommendations

I need new wiper blades, anyone have some good recommendations? Something that can handle a little grit without getting knicked up is a plus as this is for my winter beater.

I'm not sure any blades are better than others for resisting damage.

I find that caring for the blades properly helps even cheap blades perform well and last longer.

Before going out on any day where I think I'm going to use my wipers, I take a piece of paper towel and give them a quick cleaning with plain water or glass cleaner, and also wipe the glass where they rest, as dust often collects there too.

Yeah I just went with a set of cheapy winter ones (all schucks carried) I've had poor lock with the "Micro edge" ones and some of the "teflon" ones, they usually would get knicked within a few days (and this is on my "nice" cars that I religiously keep the glass clean on) at which point they would miss an area...

I am very .... picky .... about my glass and mirrors
