Default I know they're not as pretty but get winter blades , you're in PA now
Just take the winters off in spring and save for next year , put some Icons on then if you like. I change blades when the snow tires get changed.

I've been using them for a few years - EXCELLENT blades. VERY good in the winter too.

Default I use the Bosch aero twins, they look very similar
I am really happy with them. They have been great in the winter, no need for those big ugly winter only blades.

Default Bosch ICONs FTMFW.
They are worth every penny IMHO.

Default The Icons work far better in the snow and ice than any "winter" blade I've tried here in Maine.
Just my .02

I've had them year-round on 5-6 different cars/trucks now. Never an issue.

with Socal sun, doesn't matter what it is-it gets eaten by UV. Cheap blades replaced regularly works
