Mesh Overland Laundry Bag

Wet or sweaty clothes sealed in a plastic sack go sour within a day, and on a week-long trip that smell transfers to everything else in the vehicle. The Mesh Overland Laundry Bag is mesh for exactly that reason: it breathes, so damp kit dries instead of fermenting, and you are not opening a bag of laundry at the end of the trip and regretting it.

Two sizes: small at 12.5 in wide x 13 in tall x 8 in deep, large at 14.5 in wide x 18 in tall x 11.5 in deep. Adjustable dual quick-release buckles let you hang it off a headrest, a roll bar, a tent pole or a cargo rail rather than surrendering floor space to it, and let you pull it off in one motion at the laundromat. Empty, it folds flat — so on the outbound trip it is not occupying a bag-sized hole. Mesh also means the whole thing goes under a hose when it needs cleaning.

What to know before you buy

It breathes, which is the point — but it is mesh, so it does not contain smells or keep water out. This is a laundry bag, not a dry bag.
