Does the white stay white? White on a backpacking/hiking pack seems very stupid to me. Is it easy(ish) to clean?

Its actually more of a grey. Its not especially a dirt magnet and cleans fairly well.

The light part is grey and we took it on a couple planes, traine, through the city twice, and on a week long camping trip. Never had a problem with dirt, maybe because of the material.

I have that color; surprisingly, it does not get dirty easily! I've had mine for about 6 months and I've never cleaned it, and the edges are a little dirty now but I'm sure could be cleaned off. But it took 6 months of heavy use to get there. It doesn't transfer any colors from jeans in my experience. I've been very happy with it, and everyone always asks me where I got it so they can get one.

I've not head mine for very long. I've used it only twice. But its not bad about things sticking to it. Mostly it just collects leaf fragments that get get caught on your clothes. If its not been drenched in icky,I would just do it like I do my goretex stuff, spot wash and rinse. I mean, your camping right? Plan for a little grime.

I have the white. It's pure white at first look but it has some minor speckles if you look at it very closely. They very smal and faint and I am not at all disappointed by the look. It perceives as white. Overall we are very happy with it remember to buy the white drain trap to go with It, at the same time; was difficult to by in local retailers

It will definitely be a good option for a backpacking trip ! It is very light and easy to clean

I have the white which is picture here. I have three of the pots all in white, including this one. They do become stained after several months, but does not affect the flavor. I also have two of the smaller soup size which I use quite often. I don't think you will be unhappy with this set. It also comes with a small cook book which was handy in preparing rice.

Hi, Rebecca. This case is awesome in many ways. Is it water resistant? I would say no. As an avid hiker and back country camper, I've had the opportunity to test (and need) a lot of of water resistant gear. Water has an incredible capacity to soak through materials that seem, at first glance, to appear water resistant. I feel this is the case with this product. My case is sturdy, and lives in my day pack, but if it's raining, it's going inside a water proof pouch. The shell is made of molded EVA-plastic, but water can easily seep into the seams at the corners and the zippers. Hope this helped. Hi, Rebecca. This case is awesome in many ways.

Soon after I got my white case, it started looking dingy. I have use Clorox wipes and scrubbed trying to clean it, but it continues to be dingy and brown-ish. It's a good case but get a different color!

I was curious to see if mine was also dirty. It was. I couldn't remove the white plastic front, but I blew into the wider opening and it seemed to get rid of just about all of the dust inside. Now I am keeping mine in a ziploc sandwich bag to prevent the build up of dust.

For backpacking, I prefer to use the acrylic model with disposable paper filters. While it's likely this does weigh a bit more, the real problem is cleaning it each morning - if you are going to be near water the whole time and don't mind the messiness of it, it would work. Much easier to put the paper & grounds in your fire/trash and not worry about the cleaning!

White cleans up spectacular. If you have stuck on food, let it soak a while in hot water and dish soap. Use a scrubber hat does not scratch.

To get a good price you have to sacrifice detail! I did it for only 5 minutes and rinsed with water. Used it 3 times and haven't needed to use it since. Still White

I add a little Oxi Clean to my wash in addition to my detergent. They don't come out white white but not as dirty looking as they are with out. And just because they look dirty, they aren't. Its just like white sock . The bottoms never stay white as they are when their new but u know their clean because uve washed them.

We had two of these in operation all summer. When I emptied them (very nasty job - see my other answer) I lost one of the white tops. We did not notice any difference in effectiveness with or without the white top. They worked on many species in Utah. As amazingly effective as they are disgusting.

I have been able to keep mine clean with just a bit of water on a cloth. Spot cleaning. I use the bag nearly every day & keeping it clean this way hasn't been a problem. I even carry lunch in my bag sometimes. I would be hesitant to use chemicals on it... I really treasure my bag.

Stains easily. My sling bag was rubbing the jacket against my jeans and color from jeans was transferred. There was a few brown stain which I can't remove. Awesome jacket though but white not recommended.

I was also worried about this as well when buying the white headset. I take good care of mine and when I transport them they go in the included carrying pouch. Mine are still very white and clean. The only part that seems to carry any noticeable dirtyness it the cable from being dragged across various table tops and the ground. most of this is easily wiped off. It really just depends on how good of care you take with them and where you take them.
