This one you can wash in the machine, BUT, use cold water and the most gentle cycle. Make certain all of the detergent has dissolved in the water before you put it inside out in the water. Use the soak cycle first, then let it go through the shortest wash cycle. Check it in the spin cycle, my washer doesn't change the time for the spin cycle no matter how short the wash cycle, so I've had to stop it midway through to remove the backpack so that the nylon mesh part doesn't get too beat up.





If you have a dryer rack, use that so that the drum turns but the backpack stays stationary on the rack (you can also use the mesh bag that attaches to the door but it takes a lot longer to dry and you have to keep changing the backpack's position in it to thoroughly dry it). I use the delicate or air dry setting on the dryer and it usually takes 40-50 minutes to dry, but I turn it right side out half way through.Can i put my north face backpack in the wash machine.?
Yes, but I would wash on gentle and air dry.
I would think you could machine wash it. Machine washing is not usually the problem with such things, it's the dryer that'll do the damage. I'd recommend air drying it.


Thank goodness it's the weekend. Wash it now, and you've got 2+ days to let it dry
