Speaking of washing things . . .

What about camel backs? I've had mine for years for hiking, but I don't sweat nearly as much hiking as I do cycling. I checked inside for washing instructions but I didn't see any. I was thinking it'd be ok in the washing machine on the gentle cycle, or I could hand wash, but I loathe hand washing. Has anyone had luck putting theirs in the washing machine? (And just to be clear, I'm talking about the outer pouch with straps, not the water bladder!). Thanks :)

HI! I wash mine in the washing machine and hang to dry.
I usually strap it together, and it works great! It dries very quickly too!!
Thanks for the reminder, I have to wash both mine too.
hand washing with woolite works too, but the washing machine is easier.

I've washed mine, Too. No Ill effects noted :)

I do it all the time - or maybe not quite often enough - but yes, I put it in on delicate and cold water and then hang it up to dry

Works great
