I think the warranties are against defects (broken zippers, etc.), during the item's reasonable lifetime, not your lifetime. Even a well cared for jacket will wear out if worn daily for years and years, at which point it has reached the end of it's reasonable lifetime. I don't think anyone is promising a magic jacket that will last for 60+ years of use.
