Preferred replacement winter wiper blades?

Purely opinion based post here. I would love to know what some of the R60 owners on this forum prefer in the way of replacement winter wiper blades. Living in CO of course means snow and a lot of intense sun! I am leaning towards Bosch Icons but open to others suggestions. Im not too worried about price for the right wipers. Thanks.

From living many years in Central New York (place an hour away had like 12' of snow in 24 hours), a wiper that is fully sheathed is just about mandatory.

I've used all the brands and can say for sure that the PIAA blades are by far the best and last the longest.

another +1 for the Bosch .. we dont get much ice/snow in CA where im at.. but they chop right through it on the bad days. Another plus - they are the quietest wipers I have had the pleasure of owning. No crazy noises from wind @ speed, and on the glass they are dead quiet.

Been very happy with Bosch as well. Didn't drive in much snow last year but in all other conditions I have no complaints. If only they worked as well on my fiances Equinox

Bosch on my Audi TT Quattro Coupe... and on SWMBO Cooper S Countryman All4. We get 4 seasons in the mountains of NC. Pine needles are my only complaint. They get caught in whatever blade I use.
