Water-repellent RainX Wiper Blade: RainX Latitude 2 in 1
The RainX water repellent is the most unique wiper blade on the market today. It performs the best in rainy weather and uses its patented RainX water-repellent technology directly on its wiper blades to apply a water-repellent seal on your windshield to give a slick surface that drives water right off your windshield. This gives you a clear, streak-free, obstruction-free view out of your windshield on those rain-soaked days.
This wiper also uses beam technology versus conventional frame construction. We did a full explanation of the benefits of beam technology in our “BEST OF” guide HERE. But, the gist is beam technology uses a frameless design to adhere to your windshield with hundreds of pressure points versus 6 to 8 points that conventional frames can apply. This allows the wiper to ‘hug’ your curved windshield giving a clean sweep in fewer passes. It’s good stuff.
PROS:
- Beam blade construction
- Streak-free design
- Water repellent
CONS:
- None we could find

Longest Lasting: RainX Silicone Endura
If you are looking for a wiper that will last more than one season and provide streak-free performance then you probably are looking at silicone wiper blades. In case you didn’t know, silicone blades do not use rubber compounds in the construction of the blades and provide a superior sweep. Silicone wiper blades have several benefits over rubber blades which include:
- Cleaner, streak-free sweep
- Longer lasting durability
- Natural water-repellent properties from silicone
- Quieter operation
The RainX Silicone Endura also has the advantage of being to operate in extreme weather (tested to -20°F to +194°F) without any loss of performance. So if you live in an area where the temperature fluctuates with the seasons this is a good choice for you.
PROS:
- Silicone durability
- Lasts twice as long
- Superior sweep
- Beam blade construction
- Naturally Water repellent
CONS:
- None we could find

Hybrid Wiper: RainX Fusion
The hybrid RainX Fusion wiper blade incorporates technology from higher-end models to create a heavy-duty design that is designed to excel in snow and icy conditions. It does this by encasing the wiper in a protective flexible shell. It is a good upgrade from the OEM bottom rung OEM selections as it uses synthetic rubber compounds which provide a good all-weather wipe. The RainX Fusion also has an aerodynamic, and sleek design that is sturdy enough to withstand high-speed wind lift during those long drives.
PROS:
- Heavy-Duty construction ideal for snow and ice
- Sleek Design won’t lift during highway speeds
- Synthetic rubber blade, and good all-weather performance
CONS:
- None we could find

Conventional Wiper: WeatherBeater
The RainX WeatherBeater wiper blade is a conventional OEM replacement for your factory wipers. It uses galvanized steel frame construction and resists rust and corrosion. It is easy to install and includes adapters to fit your wiper arms. It uses a natural rubber compound wiper blade that does well in light weather but may not stand up to extremes.
PROS:
- Galvanized steel construction for durability
- Easy installation with included adapters
- Natural rubber compound
- Most inexpensive option
CONS:
- Does well in light weather conditions but might not be the best choice in extreme weather.
