I will give it a try with the pack. I don't have an REI close, perhaps I can find the nikwax somewhere else? Do you think the thermorest pad could be washed in the same way in the tub?

> Hi Mike, I use nikwax for my down bag (got this at REI). Note take your bag to laundry matt and use the biggest washer they have. When it time to dry it I put a shoe in the dryer. Run the dryer on the lowest heat. It will take a while before it dry. With your backpack I would think laudrey sope will do. Full your bath tub (I think more on the hot side)with water and hand wash your pack. Good luck
