I bought this for the large size and the features like the zippered pockets in the waist belt. The top lid comes off and can be used as a cross-body bag.

110 L is best back pack for Everest base camp. I really like it
don't need to worry about compacting (tighting) so it can fit in the backpack if it is 85 or 75 L. Was recommended by my lukla porter.

When you're heading out for multiple days on the trail or in the backcountry, the Kelty Red Cloud Internal Pack hauls everything you need to make the trip great. Featuring the advanced Perfect-FIT suspension system, you can easily adjust the fit with the integrated adjustment system while wearing the pack. The shoulder straps and hip belt are engineered specifically for a man's shape to give you a close-fitting pack that doesn't hamper your movements. The top-loading design also features a removable lid that converts into a sling pack, and you have front panel access to all your gear. A stretchy front shove-it pocket lets you stash a layer when the temperatures start to heat up, and plenty of other pockets keep all your gear organized, like zippered side pockets and a large front pocket with organization. You can lash on your extra gear with the 2 hide-away ice axe loops and stash snacks close at hand in the hip belt pockets. The Kelty Red Cloud Internal Pack gives you the most comfortable fit with a ventilating spacer mesh back panel, a lumbar support, and spacer mesh shoulder straps, waist belt, and lumbar region. Stabilize your load and center it exactly where you want it with the load-lifter straps, belt stabilizer straps, and sternum strap. Finally, the Kelty Red Cloud Internal Pack has a sleeping bag compartment and is hydration compatible, so you can stay hydrated on those long day hikes through the backcountry.

The item pictured is the 2016 RedCloud 110. It only comes in one color, Ponderosa Pine. I bought one and I like the color. It's actually not as bright as the photo would indicate. It's a nice green. A great pack for the price.

Is this pack small/medium or medium/large? And is it the 2013/2014 model?

This is one of the largest backpacks on the market from a volume standpoint at 110 liters. The Kelty perfect fit system makes it comfortable for a wide range of body types. But a short guy or a woman may find it too large from a fit standpoint.

As for the size of this pack, at 110 liters it's one of the largest packs on the market. The Kelty perfect fit system will adapt it to a wide range of body types but a small person may want to look at a pack in 70-80 liter range.

This is a 2014 pack there are no variations in sizes, it is considered to be a very large pack.

Dear Cindy,
This pack is made by Kelty and they make it in two sizes. The sizes as named by Kelty are "small/medium" and "medium/large". The pack offers adjustable torso length and thus the naming of the sizes. To achieve a proper fit, it makes a very big difference which is ordered. For instance,. I have a torso that will fit fine with a "medium/large" but the "small medium" wouid not fit at all.
Thus, my question, "What size is the pack you are selling? It is not indicated on the website nor is there an place to select a size like you would select a color.
Please let me know. I cannot purchase this pack without that information and anyone who does is taking a gamble on getting the correct size pack.
Thank you,
Rodney

My apologies Cindy. I checked the Kelty website and it indicates only one size available. The Red Cloud 90 and Coyote 80 come in the two sizes I have mentioned. However, the Red Cloud 110 only fits torso sizes 17.5" to 21" which is considered a 'large' torso size by all pack manufacturers.
Do you know how long your sale is running? I'd like to buy the Kelty 110 but need to sell other packs of mine to raise the money. That will take me a bit of time.
Thanks for the quick response and have a great day.

Update - I just checked your website and the Kelty 110 is listed at $239.90 which is the manufacturer's suggested list price. I could have sworn that yesterday Sunny Sports was offering this pack for $159 or something like that. If this is true, would Sunny Sports be willing to extend this price to me of the next 24 hours since I had expressed interest in the pack but need to have a question answered? Let me know if the sale price is correct and if you'll give me t he 24 hours to place an order at the sale price.
Thank you for your consideration,
Rodney
