I have a Redington Redstorm rain/wading jacket and am both thrilled and proud to be using something so well designed and manufactured. I can only presume it will last well. I did contact them about a flaw in the handle of one of my CPS rods and they agreed to compensate me for the repair (I am in Canada, so it was easier to compensate me then to send the rod back and forth). I don't think you have anything to worry about.
