Careful of any loose straps if you're just putting the whole thing in the washer. I had one my favorite backpacks get eaten/torn by the washing machine rotors because one of the straps somehow got stuck.
Would recommend air-drying because some of the stuffing materials they use for padding like on the arm straps can shrink and become useless in the drier.
