Default Wiper blade recommendations?

I've tried several different brands and lengths with no real satisfaction. Just spent 60minutes of white nuckles driving just 35 miles from Pontiac to Flint because the driver's side continues to ice up right in my field of vision. Seems no matter what brand I've tried.
Honestly, this is really the only gripe I have about the truck in the 4 years I've had it. Oh and the engineering design morons who mounted the trailer harness up to the body so it would rub, short and blow the BMS. i'm sure the replacement parts division loves them though.

Not sure what to recommend... that is the only thing that I don't like about my truck. My wipers always get caked with snow and iced up...

The two best I have had on the H3's are RainX Lattitudes and the Bosh ICON's. I think I like the RainX's a little better. In snow and ice they both will still freeze up an miss spots on the windshield but seem to do much better than OEM's.

theres a easy fix for that move to the south : ). I just put new blades on mine and used the michelin rainforce that walmart is now carrying and they were only 12 bucks a piece and there just as good as the rain-x.

I've tried the RainX Lattitudes they were OK for winter, the Icons are a little better. Then I was at Costco of all places and they had Goodyear Assurence (Edge) blades for CHEAP $6.99ea. I thought what the heck, if they don't work they are the same price for 2 as the others for 1.

Love the Goodyears! I have them all the way around the H3 and just put them on the H3T last week. I didn't tell my wife I changed her blades. It snowed today and she called me on her way to work and thanked me for her new blades and said she didn't have to even use the washer sqirters once or pull over to clear the bades of snow and ice on the way into work!

After I bought my H3 was when I started embracing and looking forward to winter. There's no such thing as too much snow now.
