Riding gear advice

[dANbOT]

Hey, couldn't think of a better place to ask some like-minded enduro guys for some riding gear advice. I'm ready to order some new stuff for the 21 season.

Pants:
I have been using Klim Dakar inside the boot pants for a few years, very happy with them. Unfortunately my size / color choice is out of stock at my favorite online stores.
After browsing around at other similar options, The Fly Patrol XC pants caught my eye, seem to be comparable to the Dakars.
Anyone have suggestions for tough inside the boot pants that have pockets? bonus points for zipper vents.

Backpack
My last couple bags were: Klim Crew pack, and more recently an American Cargo Trooper. Each had its good, and bad points.
I'm looking for a pack in the 20L storage size with provisions for hydro pack. Any suggestions here?

Thanks in advance!

I have the fly patrols, super heavy duty, a little warm in the hot weather but they have vents that can zip open. I like them.

They sound very similar to my Dakars.... heavy but with massive zipper vents. Thanks, glad to hear from a happy user.
