Pro Tips

As a general rule of thumb:

• Stainless steel and polypropylene = dishwasher safe
• Hard-anodized aluminum = hand wash only
• Collapsible silicone walls = fine on the top rack, but avoid exposing anodized bases to detergents

Whenever possible, taking a moment to wash by hand in camp or at home will keep your gear trail-ready for years to come.
