Default Wipers

Can anyone tell me a good windshield wiper for the cold and blowing months of the year? These ones from the factory are about useless. or is this just a design flaw in the truck. Every time I go to clear my windshield the wipers make it worse than it was when I went to clear it. I clean them off and make sure there is no ice on them and half way down the road they are all iced up again.....So frustrating that I can't have a clear windshield in the winter time........

I always use Bosch Icon which seem to be the best for me. Ford OEM aren't bad but when they go I replace with the Icon. I've tried rain-x, Michelin and Trico and none of them stand up or last like the Bosch

Edit: I also clean/treat the windshield with ceramic spray coating and always use rainx washer fluid. No issues

You need to keep the glass warm with the defroster, but tough in the single digits and below

Bosch Icon. Once the truck warms a bit, I change the settings to defrost only and let it really warm the windshield. That seems to overcome the deep freeze and keeps the blades clear.
