The Daily Deal for Saturday, October 11, 2008

It's been coooolld here in Portland over the past few days, and I'm getting ready to start outfitting my family for rainy fall and winter bike rides. I am looking for a jacket with a nice high collar and a bright, but snug profile. Bingo! The Burton girls' 'System' jacket is just what I need. And at a daily deal price too, down from the original $169.95 to only $67.98. It's a girls' jacket, but the sizes available are large and extra-large, ideal for a smallish woman.

It's a boarder jacket, so if I ever decide to hit the slopes, I'll be stylish and snug there too. The closest comparable jacket, the Element, ranges from the low $70s up to $89.97 at other online retailers; no one else seems to carry the System, which is a 2006 style (and in my opinion, way cuter than this year's fashion).
