Wipers in pairs? When did you last buy wiper blades? They're always individual... and have been for many many years... especially at places like Wal-Mart and Canadian Tire.

The reflex ones have two simple advantages... they have a low profile and they form to your window. The first is nothing but an advantage.. I have winter blades on now and if you try to use wash on the window at speeds over 80, you're just pushing it around. There is so much lift, the blades don't wipe. the low profile of the reflex means it doesn't catch enough wind to lift off the windshield.

The second is that due to the fact that they have no frame, the reflex has been mounted as a blade on a moulded piece of flexible plastic. Great idea, but for one thing: when the plastic starts to loose it's shape as a result of temp change or whatnot, the blade will eventually lift in certain places. This of course would take a while tho, by which time you'd probably need new blades anyway. The lack of frame also means there is less wiper for ice to build up on. Always a plus. The only downside to no frame? Less strength. The wiper can't force away the snow or anything with as much ease as a framed wiper. A minor inconvinience tho.

Overall I'm glad I installed them on my mum's van. Good investment

EDIT: Oh an as for the price, I paid $15.99 for a 21" and $14.99 for a 19"...
