Just won a bunch of Maxpedition packs brand new from ebay for a very low buy it now price but they all have a moldy/mildew smell to them. No visable mold of any sort but you can smell it from a meter away. I called the company but they were pretty useless and said they do not recommend I wash them because it will affect the waterproofing of the packs and that they can not advise anything to help me in my situation. I did find out that they treat the bags with Teflon fabric protector. Any tips on washing these bags? I was thinking either soaking it in vinegar/water as i heard its good for killing mold (not sure what ratio) or maybe soaking it in Nikwax Tech wash (have gallons of it).
