Mercedes Benz cars come with wipers exactly like that. They work amazingly well. They are streak free and noiseless on my family's S class and C class. They lasted my dad 60k miles too! Not cheap tho, MB charges 50 a set!

The blades alone are under 40 bucks...
OEM / Performance Parts for Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Mini, Porsche & Volkswagen - ECS Tuning
But you have to have the OEM Aero arms as well... Thus the kit. However, I still think the technology lies in the arms themselves, not the blades...

Someone buy me a set and I will do a full write up/ review on them puppies!

I have Rain-x also, but they are worthless at anything above 100 mph. They start to lift at about 80, and just get worse.

125 in the rain with the aero wipers and they didn't skip a beat. I forgot about that.

On a closed course.
