What websites should I check out for good deals on raincoats?

Feb 22, 2011 6:06 PM

Getting tired of being waterlogged at the bus stop in the Emerald City.

The family (wife and toddler) need waterproof gear because evidently if you don't go to the when it's wet, you don't go to the playground...

Why don't you go to a site such as Bing.Com or one of the other search sites for best prices?

Yeah, from some brief Googling, it seems like Amazon.com kinda just wins. I was hoping people knew of some secret special discount/closeout sites specifically for this kind of thing...

I did find this, though, which is pretty awesome: http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/df52c175-372d-42a7-a5b0-9ead64042b5d/tuffo-muddy-buddy-overalls

You might try LLBean.

It depends on what kind of quality you're looking for.

If you want a lightweight waterproof shell that you can layer if /when you need warmth - in other words outdoors-y gear - then I'd start with REI. Check the clearance section of their site. I have a really nice Marmot shell that retails for nearly $400 (I got it when a store was going out of business, and back when I used to do a lot more backpacking). I also have a couple of REI shells that run around $100. They aren't /as/ nice, but they're very good, and a great value.

Also check out www.campmor.com. they have a lot of closeouts and discontinued items, and therefore some good prices.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
