We just replaced the wipers on our 2020 Subaru Outback today - they lasted 4 year!. If you have a Subaru, I highly recommend Subaru wipers. The ones we replaced were still clearing the windshield, but in Virginia they have "safety" inspections and if there's even the tiniest little tear they fail the car. So we replaced them. But they still had life left in them.
Best Wiper blades for Subaru Outback
Since buying my wife's 2004 Outback in 2012, I've always used Bosch Evolutions. Living in the PNW and the torrential downpours, one of the best blades I've used.
Just my opinion but as someone who has tried a number of wipers and fluid over the years, I feel the best stuff out there when it comes to fluid is the pre-mixed 20/10 brand green fluid and when it comes to wiper blades, Bosch Icon have proven to be the most reliable.
I've always like Bosch Icons
I only ever used Subaru blades on my 2011, for 10 years in Upstate, NY, winters. My 21 is on the second set of OE blades (installed under warranty) and they're also good quality. As others said - they're a competitive price and good quality so I see no reason to use something else.
I just buy the OEM blades from Subaru. They seem to be good quality and the price is comparable to a higher end Trico blade I would normally buy anyways.
Bosch icon. The only size that has the correct adapter area the 18oe and 26oe, avail at Amazon.
Note that most non-subaru wipers will look bulkier than the stock ones and partly block the washer fluid stream on the passenger side - but only for the split second before the wipers actually move. Then it's totally fine.
Overall, much better than the stock wipers
I just go to the Subaru dealership to get OEM blades. They're pretty good for the price !
Bosch Icon are the only one's I use now. They always cost a bit more than I want, but they're silent, smooth, and last several years.
Tried the Michelin’s from Costco and they were horrible. Didn’t conform to the windshield and would skip along the windshield. Would not recommend.
