I've got a Russell made super elite that's at least 20 years old and I have used it heavily. I removed the seat and just use the rest of it and it's made of polyester and doesn't weigh a pound by itself. I never trusted the pot or striker holders from the beginning; I just keep them in the big pockets. I expect it to outlast me.


All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
