I am sure it will be fine in the wash.. but I would not advise tossing it in the dryer. Not that it would shrink, but why take that chance? I would suggest air drying it.

As for mine… all I have ever done is take a wet cloth and hand washed it ON my tank, and let it dry. I have never gotten it totally wet, just wet enough to wash what I needed cleaned.

you can prolly wash it just fine, but i would avoid putting it in the dryer.

I've washed mine with my dark clothes many times, works fine. Just don't machine dry it. I let my hang up for 3 days and it is good as new. :)

I just take mine and throw it on the ground and use a power nozzle on my garden hose. washes it pretty good, all my guys say it looks brand new except for the jewels turning orange..which seems to happem to most all the older models of the DYE tank covers.

dishwasher...:confused: you can do anything you want buddy, but to get the maximum cleanage, stock it with very dirty dishes too:D

I fill the sink up with a little water, put a bit of woolite in, and use a cloth to clean it. At first I didn't submerge it, but now I do. Air dry it. But towel off the zipper, you don't want that to rust.

I wash and dry mine all the time. Just set the dryer to the lowest heat setting.

don't wash it with anything with loose threads. I got some threads around the velcro zipper cover and now the velcro is messed up.

i wash/dry everything i own...clothes and paintball gear at max agitation and high heat with no probs.

after a couple weeks of hard play i toss the atc's, gloves, pack, pods, jersey, pants, squeegies, tank covers, barrel socks, even the freakin gear bag in the washer with double soap...then run it again with just water to rinse it good before throwing it in the dryer for an hour. no problems. the only thing i dont wash is the gun, barrel, tank, hopper and mask...any of those that get too messy go in the shower with me taken apart.

I've washed mine about 20 or so times. I throw it in with the rest of my gear/clothes that needs washing. No problems.

Lol, I think the general rule with paintball gear is wash it however much you want, just don't ever put it in the dryer.
