I've got a Kelty Red Cloud women's pack (5000 cubic inches). What size bladder would be best? 2L or 3L?

While I don't know the dimensions on that pack, you can usually figure out a way to get a 3L bladder to fit into a 2L sleeve, even if it's not made for it. The obvious thing, of course, is to just not fill it completely full.

http://www.kelty.com/p-32-womens-red-cloud-5000.aspx As this is larger then my 4200 backpack & I use this 3L in there, I would think it should fit just fine. Also according to a different sellers web site: Hydration sleeve accommodates a reservoir up to 3 liters (sold separately) HTH!

Have you checked out the size of your hydration sleeve on your Kelty pack? Does it even have a hydration sleeve? I think 3L bladders are always more useful than 2L, but that is my personal opinion. Even if your hydration sleeve in your pack doesn't accept a 3L bladder, you can still use that bladder if you're creative. I definitely do that in some of my non-accommodating packs.
