After having the seams come unglued on 3 different Stoic jackets, I only wash my wife's jacket in cold water in a front-loading washing machine, and when I do, I cross my fingers and hope it comes out in one piece. I line-dry it, since I'm too afraid to trust it in the dryer even on the no-heat setting.

My lime shell was covered in sled grease and road grime. I applied some shout advanced gel and brushed the stains out with a toothbrush. I did this a few times and then washed it on normal in my front loader and the stains were gone.

On delicate cycle in my front loader, it got the sweaty smell out of it with Nikwax Techwash, but dirt/grease did not come out. Waterproofing suggestion is Nikwax TxDirect wash-in (I guess as opposed to spray on).

Hey, Yes, its machine washable. Just use only delicate soap that is designed for waterproof materials like nikwax. use this: backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nikwax-Tech-Wash-TXD-Wash-In-Twin-Pack/NIK0053M.html it comes with soap and a wash in to help improve the waterpoof rating. and for maintaining waterproof rating check this: http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nikwax-TX-Direct-Spray-On/NIK0008M.html Hope this helps!
