My old raincoat was some $10 piece of garbage that was scarcely better than wearing a trash bag, so for Christmas I asked for and received a Marmot Minimalist, mostly because it came so highly recommended from our readers, but also because there was a really good deal that brought it down to about $113.
Thanks for your continued support of Deadspin. Enjoy the cold weekend.
We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.

Tiafoe took a five-setter to make the fourth round of a major for the first time in his young life, so by all means, he can…

WWE’s television programming has taken a sharp turn in the past week or so, or more precisely thrown it in reverse and slammed on the gas.
