About washing Paintball Pants . . .
I just got in a pair of Empire React pants and the label says to handwash. I know I'm never gonna have time to do that. Has anyone else tossed theirs in the washer and had any bad effects from it? Or do you guys actually handwash them?

I throw my evil pants in with all my other soft paintball gear like jersey, gloves, pack, headwrap, swabs. Do not put them in the dryer just let them hang out to dry.

Yeah, that's what I was going to do. I figure the only thing that might happen because of machine washing is that the logos might start to fade off, but I don't really care about that anyways. |

I'd assume after 1 day of paintballing that they'd be really dirty.  |

I didn't know about that handwashing, I threw my pants in the laundry and my mom washed them with everything else, I haven't checked them yet though.

wash them in the washer with cold water (hot water makes them fade) and hang them up to dry...don't put them in the dryer
