It comes with a 2L bladder, at least mine did. I was able to fit a 3L Platypus bladder in but it was tight. See my answer to the question re: this.

Any 2-3L hydration bladder will work fine, i use a 3L bladder in a carry case and it still works great. It works great with camel backs because the pack has a hole that you can feed the tube through without exposing any of the contents imside. Hope this helped, enjoy your new pack!

The bladder is about 11.5 inches long. It's about 7 inches at its widest point, and tapers to about 6 inches.

No. I personally wouldn't recommend carrying a hydration bladder at all. With a full bladder in the sleeve of this backpack the comfort of the suspension and effectiveness of the back ventilation mesh are diminished. Unless absolutely necessary, carrying water adds a ton of weight. I suggest carrying a water filter (Sawyer Squeeze is my recommendation) and stopping at available water sources.

3 Liters. It's a great piece of gear. I have a couple Camelbaks, but the Source is by far my favorite.

The packaging says 28 ounces, which is 1 and 3/4 pints. I've never needed to measure my urine, but I think this would certainly be enough for one person with a very full bladder.

I used a 6 liter MSR bag no problem. Only one bladder sleeve. Expensive bag but very comfortable

I am not sure if the dimensions but I use it for a standard platypus 2L big zip bladder, and a 2L source outdoors wide pack bladder. They fit perfectly on both and hold up well while backpacking.

Standard camelbak length. If you've ever used used a camelback, theres no difference in size.

It is the same length as as tube that wud come with a camel bak hydration system. Rei and other outdoor stores are amazed that they dont sell this product. This thing is great for day trips where water isnt needed all day or for instances like the Great Smokey Mountains water is everywhere and no need to cary large quantities of water.

Not sure of the actual size, but I can easily fit my Camelbak Mil Spec short 3 Liter bladder in there.

1600 cubic inches. I've used it for overnight hikes and love it. I purchased a tactical first aid pouch that goes on the outside, so it saves room for more items, such as food, clothing, hammock etc etc etc. The bottom compression straps are genius because you can add a bedroll or sleeping bag on the outside, again, saving space. Once you've packed it, then you fill the bladder. I have a virus filter, so I don't have to fill it all the way if I don't want to. It's really handy.

not a separate area, but will fit in main pack area if you did a little work to it, that is what i have planed or poss on back of pack with cover on it, its not made for hydration bladder from factory ! IF your hyd bag is small one could fit it in top zippered bage on top as "Sidebuns" suggested but long hyd bag would have a fold over in that area ??

Large. I complained that the product leaks and was a waste of money. The company gave me my money back to remove the negative feedback.

1/4~5/32 inches inside diameter.. most hydration packs I have seen have bigger tubes than this..

It's fairly big. Maybe about the size of a 16 fl oz Poland spring water bottle. Just not quite as long.
