I was getting ready for a ride earlier when I discovered what was probably once a banana in my camelbak. I was running a bit late so just emptied it out and took my spare pack. I was just wondering if it’s possible to put camelbaks through the washing machine or I’ll just have to mtfu and clean it out by hand. Any tips gratefully received!

popped mine in the washing machine loads of times with no problems

yes, wash on a 40 along with your bike kit, no conditioner. Mine goes in every month on average, comes out like new (make sure you close the zips)

Yep, chuck mine in the washer with my dirty kit. It’s not made of special stuff you know….

I washed my old Mule a few times in the washing machine without any ill effects, came out like new in fact.

yep and they dry pretty fast.

Aye washed mine a few times with the waterproofs and some techwash/grangers stuff – works a treat

Yes, no problems, as above, but I put mine inside an old pillowcase to stop all the straps and fastenings rattling about.
