Rain-X windshield wipers?

Guys,

Did anyone use the Rain-X windshield wipers? Any info on them? Are they truly as good as advertised or just another gimmick?
thats the web site i'm looking at www.rainx.com
Are there any other good wipers I can get?

thanks in advance.

I recommend Bosch Icon wipers with Rain-X applied to the glass regularly.

this is what i run. to be honest, applying rain-x does more than any set of wipers i think.

i usually polish and wax my glass so it repels water nice.
