I've washed mine maybe once in 3 years and only because I got went otb and skidded into some horse sh*t on my back. Put it in the sink with a tiny amount of detergent and then hand washed it. Rinsed it well and air dryed. Easy enough.

what I meant was washing in the washing machine, it worked out fine.

In a top loader, you've got to watch out that straps don't get stuck under the moving parts. Dumping the pack into a big mesh laundry bag first is a good idea.

Yeah a laundry bag is the preferred method if you're going to use the washing machine. With that said I don't think the washing machine does a much better job than hand washing.

Hopefully the PETA folks don't catch wind of this.

Or was that a euphemism?
