We tested wipers in Pacific Northwest downpours. These performed best in heavy rain conditions.
The ClearMax 365 dual rubber stays compliant against curved windshields even in the heaviest downpours. Zero streaking in our tests. The tension spring arching provides consistent pressure edge to edge.
The water-beading coating is a real advantage in rain — water beads up and blows off at highway speeds even between wipes. Slightly less durable than Bosch but the coating effect is worth it.
Silicone rubber performs identically in rain to conventional rubber but lasts 2x longer. The hydrophobic residue left on the glass makes rain bead up even without the wipers running.
