Classic Squall Waterproof Insulated Jacket

Have not worn yet, but fits as expected and is well-constructed. Bought to replace jacket (not LEnd) shredded by new puppy on neighborhood walks. Did not want to risk rips to my 34 yo Squall jacket which I still love for errands, xc-skiing. Hope tough Squall fabric holds up to puppy’s “big-lady teeth” in fall when it gets cool. She is very mouthy Portuguese Water Dog, tough on clothing.

I bought a green one a few year back and a red one last month. The green one is having issues similar to the other owners. I don't have a zipper issue but do have bonded parts detached and reflective strip delaminated. Please see pictures. Also I agree the older generation squall jacket is better quality even with more years. FYI, I have a blue and red one. Also I noticed the old version is longer vertically than the newer version and therefore the older version is more comfortable, meaning it does not have a tendency to slide up.

I somehow lost mine of a trip last spring, I had had it for over a decade, I wanted a new one but was worried it would be a good, you know, "They don't make em like they used to" well, I'm hear to report that them do, I bought blue and it had a thin strip across the chest that I neither like nor dislike but its there, very happy
